Comment
CARB's public health benefit analysis determined that these new
regulations, if adopted, will result in: 
-- $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

The California Legislature also appropriated $30 million for your
agency to distribute to small proprietor landscapers to help them
begin to acquire and transition to new, zero emission electric and
manual equipment.

This regulation will improve air quality, help to slow the climate
crisis, improve human health, and save lives. Please approve and
amend the SORE regulations per the staff recommendation.
