| Subject | Amend SORE regulations to phase out small gas powered engines |
| Comment | I am a California resident and I support the adoption of new regulations that will phase out the sale of highly-polluting gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn equipment in California beginning in 2024. The use of these machines causes numerous health problems, and greatly contributes to California's notoriously poor air quality such that California continues to fail to meet national air quality standards. These new regulations will result in fewer premature deaths, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. The reasons and the fact that the California Legislature 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 means that there is no reason not to act now. Please approve and amend the SORE regulations per the staff recommendation. Thanks, |
