Dear CARB,
As you draft amendments to the Small Off-Road Engine Regulations:
Transition to Zero Emissions AND Public Availability of Additional
Documents and Information, make sure you use the science-based
evidence of the health benefits from zero emissions SORE:
$8.8 billion in health insurance benefits through 2043
892 premature deaths avoided
438 fewer emergency room visits for asthma 
311 fewer hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiovascular
issues.
These are large and important health benefits that make it
imperative to have strong rules for SORE.
Sincerely yours,
Clair Brown
