California truck drivers could soon have to worry about pollution tickets along with speeding tickets.
Trucks and other vehicles pass a construction zone on Highway 50 in Sacramento, Calif., Monday, Dec. 6, 2021. The California Air Resources Board, on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, is considering a new smog check program for heavy duty trucks. The new rules would require trucks weighing more than 14,000 pounds to be tested at least twice per year to make sure they meet the state's smog standards.
To enforce the rules, state officials say they will install roadside monitoring devices to catch trucks that pollute too much. Automated license plate readers would help authorities identify offenders, who could be cited if they refuse to make repairs. The proposal is one of a flurry of forthcoming changes that could dramatically reshape consumer and industry behavior in the nation's most populous state that, were it an independent country, would have the world's fifth-largest economy.
“Nobody will have to give up or stop using equipment they already own. The force of this regulation falls on manufacturers," Berman said.
