	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 808, Ridley-Thomas. Automotive fuels and products.
   (1) Existing law regulates the sales of motor vehicle fuels and
lubricants. Existing law requires the Department of Food and
Agriculture to establish standards for motor vehicle fuels and other
petroleum products that are offered for sale in the state and
requires the department, through the Division of Measurement
Standards to enforce regulations and standards for motor vehicle
fuels and lubricants. A violation of this law and those regulations
and standards is a crime.
   This bill would revise and recast those provisions and would
additionally subject the retail sale of electricity for the purposes
of transferring electricity to, or storing electricity onboard, an
electric vehicle primarily for the purpose of propulsion and other
alternative fuels. The bill would authorize the department to
establish interim specifications for alternative fuels, as defined,
until specified conditions are met. The bill would require the
Secretary of Food and Agriculture to establish the method of sale of
motor vehicle fuels and lubricants sold at retail to the public.
   (2) Existing law prohibits the sale of a petroleum product that is
conditioned on the purchase of another product, merchandise, or
service, except that a person who operates a full service car wash
facility may condition the sale of petroleum products on the purchase
of a car wash.
   This bill would instead prohibit the conditional sale of motor
vehicle fuel rather than petroleum products, and would delete the
exemption for full service car wash facilities.
   (3) Existing law makes it unlawful for a person to sell or
distribute engine oil or axle and manual transmission lubricant
unless the SAE/API service classification is conspicuously marked on
each container. A violation of this requirement is a crime.
   This bill would revise the classifications and specifications to
which engine oil or lubricants and axle and manual transmission
lubricants are required to conform.
   (4) Existing law regulates the sale of automotive products, such
as engine coolant and antifreeze. Existing law requires the
department to establish specifications for those products. Existing
law deems an automatic transmission fluid as mislabeled under certain
conditions. A violation of regulations governing the sale of
automotive products is a crime.
   This bill would revise and recast those provisions and would
additionally deem transmission fluid to be mislabeled if the
container and carton do not bear information identifying the
container lot or batch. The bill would require the secretary to
establish the method of sale of diesel exhaust fluid sold at retail
to the public. The bill would authorize the sealer to take samples
reasonably necessary for enforcement purposes under certain
conditions. The bill would require manufacturers or packagers of
automotive products, upon request, to provide to a duly authorized
representative of the department documentation of claims made on
their products.
   (5) This bill would make conforming and nonsubstantive changes.
   (6) Because a violation of the above provisions would be a crime,
this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   (7) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
