Community advocates urged immediate rulemaking and asked the Legislature to withhold permitting until regulations are in place.

Matthew Ochoa of CARB told the committee that the agency is requesting 18 permanent positions and $2.2 million in 2025\u001326 and $4.3 million ongoing thereafter, funded by CARB's cost-of-implementation fee. SB905 (2022) requires CARB to establish a program to evaluate carbon capture and removal technologies, adopt monitoring and reporting standards, financial-responsibility rules, a streamlined permit portal and a public project database, and to ensure projects minimize air and other co-pollutant impacts.

CARB said it has used limited-term resources and contracts to begin technology assessments and community engagement and has a contract underway with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for technology analysis. Ochoa said the limited-term positions authorized in 2023 will expire next year and that permanent hires are needed to maintain continuity and attract candidates with regulatory experience.

Community groups and public commenters told the committee they are \"dismayed\" CARB has not committed to completing the rulemaking by 2028 and urged that permitting be paused until regulations and community protections are adopted. CARB replied that it has convened contractors, held a February workshop with product developers, and plans public engagement to scope rulemaking, but declined to give a firm deadline for adoption while noting it aims to move faster than typical multi-year rulemakings.

Why it matters: SB905 imposes broad obligations and the state has active CCUS projects or proposals in parts of California. Community and local stakeholders emphasized the need for clear financial responsibility, monitoring, and protections against leaks or other harms before projects are permitted or scaled.

Key details

- CARB requested 18 permanent positions, $2.2 million in 2025\u001326 and $4.3 million ongoing beginning 2026\u001327, funded by CARB's cost-of-implementation fee, to implement SB905 requirements. (Matthew Ochoa, CARB)

- CARB has active contracts (including with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) to conduct technology assessments and has held at least one public workshop (February) to solicit input on scope and design. (CARB testimony)

- Community groups urged the Legislature to require CARB to promulgate community-protection rules promptly and to pause permitting for carbon management projects until those rules are complete.

Ending note

CARB said it will continue contracting, community engagement and regulatory development but could not provide an exact timetable for final regulations; the subcommittee heard calls from both industry supporters urging resources to stand up the program and community advocates demanding faster rulemaking and stronger safeguards.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Subcommittee No. 2 on Resources, Environmental Protection and Energy","oneSentenceSummary","The California Air Resources Board requested permanent positions and funding to implement SB905's carbon capture, utilization and storage program, while community groups urged the Legislature to require prompt rulemaking and to pause permitting until protections are in place.","taxTitle","California State Senate, Senate, Legislative, California","taxId",77650,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6574889,"CARB tells Senate panel federal uncertainty complicates Advanced Clean Fleets, zero-emission forklifts; LAO questions staffing request",2022,4614000,6636000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9&start=4614&end=6636","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9/thumbnail_4614000.jpg","/articles/6574889/California/CARB-tells-Senate-panel-federal-uncertainty-complicates-Advanced-Clean-Fleets-zero-emission-forklifts-LAO-questions-staffing-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6574889-3f52bd0113dfdae699497b79b864d7b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447908&Signature=hITQ4BhCaJEp16gvW57Aptk6xEiKPLSLSWWJxSuRNKrbIQyEocQnfCOFtM~tZOc8SIozUbXJJ9yaGCpY8Ni8~zMH36Jaid4zCrqm6w9pIsASiQa-bmVKmgIPCL-juIUBFRY1jy72QyLP8wf9NSsgKwpqUayxtJmRggpSkzbYQwJ2ohkh08Gd6v2F0HQpMcpEux~C3EG3O5SV3Bb9rTN8Xgw7NMFQ6N89cZRb9Hv2awQZPJscwK5J~bF8kUW5EinyNp5RPbpGgdySFsw3guWWhAkv~BCGYghXhT2MHxztFe8sIhqnJ4TzjHD7aOWh~qaAwakzQotp5yRaKsDTz205JA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff told the Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2 on May 1 that federal actions and uncertainty about U.S. EPA waivers have forced CARB to adjust parts of the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation and to postpone seeking authorization for the zero-emission forklift rule. CARB sought funding and permanent positions to implement portions of the regulatory package the agency still expects to carry out.

Courtney Smith, CARB's principal deputy, said the agency withdrew certain waiver requests after consulting with U.S. EPA, and is repealing the ACF high-priority and drayage fleet provisions while preserving state and local-government requirements and the airport-shuttle rule for which CARB still had waiver authority. Smith described the Clean Truck Partnership, a 2023 agreement with truck manufacturers that represent roughly 90% of the California market, as a source of market certainty but said additional flexibilities will be needed and proposed as amendments this summer.

CARB requested resources to implement several rules, including the zero-emission forklift regulation and parts of ACF, for which the Legislative Analyst's Office said the request would fund about 50 positions and roughly $9 million annually. The LAO cautioned the committee that much of CARB's proposed enforcement work cannot be carried out absent federal waivers, recommending the Legislature weigh whether the requested resources are the best use of limited funds.

Why it matters: the ACF and related rules are central to California's strategy to reduce nitrogen oxides and other-smog-forming pollutants from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. Several senators and stakeholders expressed concern about reduced enforceability, the need for flexibility for utilities and farms, and the effect of staffing choices on CARB's ability to move quickly and efficiently.

What lawmakers and analysts said

- LAO: The Advanced Clean Fleets and forklift implementation request would support about 50 positions and $9 million annually; the LAO recommended the Legislature consider limited-term authority or ask for more detailed justification because some enforcement tasks may be legally blocked without federal authorization.

- CARB: The agency plans to pursue regulatory amendments this summer to provide flexibilities in light of market and federal uncertainties and to focus implementation resources on provisions CARB can administer, including state and local government fleets and airport-shuttle requirements. CARB officials said some positions have already been filled on a limited-term basis and converting those positions to permanent hires preserves institutional expertise.

- Stakeholders: Farm and agricultural representatives asked for leeway and noted that the forklift regulation contains exemptions and extensions for agricultural uses; CARB witnesses said the agency intends to use the current period to conduct outreach and refine provisions.

Ending note

The subcommittee did not act on CARB's staffing request. LAO and some senators signaled skepticism about creating permanent positions for rules that might be unenforceable without federal waivers, while CARB argued permanency preserves expertise and allows quicker implementation of the provisions it can currently administer. Members said they will continue review and follow up at future hearings.","California Air Resources Board witnesses told a Senate subcommittee they are revising parts of Advanced Clean Fleets and related rules because of federal waiver uncertainty; CARB requested positions to implement and enforce rules, while the LAO and several senators urged caution given likely limits on enforceability.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6574892,"Senate subcommittee reviews cap-and-trade spending plan as auction revenues fall; short-term shift to Motor Vehicle Account proposed",123,140000,263000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9&start=140&end=263","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9/thumbnail_140000.jpg","/articles/6574892/California/Senate-subcommittee-reviews-cap-and-trade-spending-plan-as-auction-revenues-fall-short-term-shift-to-Motor-Vehicle-Account-proposed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6574892-85c1d092c55587868310b3b73d26aaab/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447908&Signature=lIwabeW1SJTEQWCKnd9EA~I7CxQiF-HI0OKeGFKuEPW8tEtKY1yzk8iVHOvFvcGNOWVgFlLEuvLc2~4hnv28G34dmLt7SYV2zD21Omk44LJGUaBpjvYR0B4iphUiu3qBlLtfXIs~RH01XgFvyW4iSbYt7VMJ1qs-e~xI2gSsbR0BrSO~1K0BFil-xcGX8xwu~7twlJkDl3PFXO9zY7GgPI9EzhQ23n9m~hl5zzGaimnKZ1GwUvrcIFmQqjzXAJBesJmHK9ElBv1g2OT8E0hBOdxq15OitUe3d0LfEpDpOyaQdtWR6TVRk~L5OWJ6Xzx8Y-5eueaYzbRMGdZFigftiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2 on May 1 heard presentations from the Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst's Office on the governor's cap-and-trade spending plan, including a one-time transfer from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to the Motor Vehicle Account (MVA) and updates on auction revenue projections.

The subcommittee was told that, under the governor's budget, fiscal-year 2024\u001325 auction revenues were estimated at about $4.1 billion, roughly $600 million lower than estimates at the 2024 budget act, while interest earnings are exceeding earlier projections. Brandon Merritt of the Department of Finance said the February 2025 auction netted about $851 million, below the $1.02 billion per-auction estimate used in the governor's budget.

The Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) advised the committee that the proposed spending plan largely follows the plan approved in last year's budget act, with small changes intended to support the state's medium- and long-term priorities, but warned that revenue softness in recent auctions creates uncertainty for multi-year commitments. The LAO highlighted a proposed $32 million shift from GGRF to a Proposition 4 account and noted $81.2 million proposed to transfer from GGRF to the Motor Vehicle Account.

Why it matters: the GGRF is the primary discretionary fund for many climate and pollution-reduction programs. Commitments made now constrain future legislative choices; if allowance prices or auction outcomes remain low, the LAO said, budget-year spending may need to be revised. The Department of Finance and the LAO urged lawmakers to monitor upcoming auctions and the general fund as the May revision approaches.

Key details presented to the committee

- Department of Finance estimates: 2024\u001325 auction revenues ~ $4.1 billion (down ~$600 million versus 2024 budget act estimates); 2025\u001326 projected auction revenues ~ $4.2 billion. (Brandon Merritt, Department of Finance)

- Interest earnings from the State Money Investment Fund were projected at about $650 million for the current year, roughly $250 million above earlier projections. (Department of Finance)

- The governor's budget proposed discretionary 2025\u001326 cap-and-trade spending of about $1.8 billion, generally the same plan as the 2024 budget act with modest adjustments. One change is a transfer of $81.2 million from GGRF to the Motor Vehicle Account. (Department of Finance)

- The LAO recommended continued close monitoring of auction outcomes and warned that if allowance prices remain near recent low levels, planned budget-year expenditures might need modification. The LAO noted unallocated GGRF in the budget that could be redeployed but stressed the trade-offs. (Legislative Analyst's Office)

Committee questions and related issues

Members pressed Finance about the MVA's structural deficit and whether the proposed transfer is a short-term fix or part of longer-term thinking. Finance staff said the MVA faces operational shortfalls and is monitored each budget cycle; the transfer maintains solvency in the short term but a longer-term solution will be considered in future budget proposals. The committee also discussed the control section of the budget act (cited during the hearing as control section 15.14(b)), which limits departments to 75% spending of their appropriations until May auctions conclude and Finance makes final determinations about the remaining allowances.

High-speed rail allocation

Senators asked how the 25% allocation of cap-and-trade revenues to high-speed rail translates into dollar terms. Finance staff said the cap-and-trade contribution to high-speed rail previously amounted to roughly $2 billion in 2023\u001324 but is expected to be notably lower in 2024\u001325 (likely under $1 billion) given lower auction receipts; members noted concerns about the project's overall cost and schedule.

Public and stakeholder comments at the hearing urged continued funding for a range of GGRF programs including incentives for zero-emission trucks and transit, the Clean Cars for All program, and nature-based and community air-protection programs. Several local and regional agencies and environmental groups urged that funding remain available for programs aimed at disadvantaged communities.

Ending note

Finance and the LAO signaled that the May revision will show whether auction trends persist and that the Legislature should be prepared to weigh trade-offs among competing priorities if revenues remain lower than prior expectations. The subcommittee did not take a formal vote on the spending plan during the hearing.","Finance and the Legislative Analyst's Office told the Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2 that cap-and-trade auction revenues are down from prior estimates and the governor's budget proposes modest transfers and largely keeps the prior spending plan; staff and analysts urged close monitoring ahead of the May revision.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6574874,"LAO and industry urge Legislature to reject broad CARB fee authority; CARB says targeted fees will move costs to regulated entities",432,7216000,7648000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9&start=7216&end=7648","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9/thumbnail_7216000.jpg","/articles/6574874/California/LAO-and-industry-urge-Legislature-to-reject-broad-CARB-fee-authority-CARB-says-targeted-fees-will-move-costs-to-regulated-entities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6574874-6982b1a65dc1b509ecc5fa1572ec6972/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447908&Signature=CotXD~yhEohQHEiCPNMTUQ76uV5RkjtwnueA38cOGpNqmycUuyB3jbksqEp57tGY8fuFh~TDTXJ-~o~6x4nIyjnXiqvdFxP2Ay5L~2-2rxU02AI6Vy0Xiynv6ypWb-~kg-sAR51TOF7LJAZlLVgj7IFOWRwmuGFWUAdqr38ObamwymnscXbtM~8B0-5Lw2FBCVR7QIvvhXf-G3nyoIdb1lu34A7yKEiIuZNR1AbvXDXqZmAs5siJSe1pMcXDGPX~HkLWJTufnKpSVgs8rPbQqssk7mqJjlGp36aeqzMo2PHmXXAbb8d8GIPGj9H2h2G9-ohDCLFFKf72uNrSSBi5lg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2 heard competing arguments on May 1 over proposed trailer-bill language that would authorize the California Air Resources Board to impose fees to recover costs for regulation, implementation and enforcement.

Ajay Mangat, CARB acting division chief, described past examples where CARB included fees within adopted regulations and then later sought and received budget authority to collect them, but said a recent court ruling barred CARB from collecting certain fees tied to a regulation, and that the agency now subsidizes that program from the Air Pollution Control Fund. CARB argued that the requested authority would shift the financial burden from taxpayers and drivers to regulated entities and would help sustain program delivery as the state continues to implement complex regulatory packages.

The Legislative Analyst's Office and multiple stakeholders urged caution. The LAO recommended rejecting the administration's proposed trailer-bill language because it would be broad enough to allow the board to impose fees across an entire code division (Division 26, Health & Safety Code) without sufficient legislative oversight. The LAO said fee authority is a core legislative power and that narrower, targeted authorizations would be preferable.

Industry groups -- including trucking associations, manufacturers and port interests -- echoed the LAO's concerns, saying the proposal would allow CARB to set fees unpredictably and that the Legislature should retain tariff-setting authority. Environmental groups and some advocacy organizations supported moving toward a polluter-pays model but also urged legislative guardrails.

Why it matters: the proposal would change how CARB funds regulatory work and could alter who ultimately pays for program implementation. The committee heard arguments that the state's current funding model (MVA and the Air Pollution Control Fund) is strained and that as the regulatory agenda expands, new financing tools may be necessary; critics said the proposal as written is too open-ended.

Key points from the hearing

- CARB argued the trailer bill would allow it to recover reasonable costs from regulated entities and reduce pressure on existing state funds; CARB also said agencies typically return to the Legislature via a budget change proposal with details about fee design and implementation.

- LAO recommended rejecting the proposal as overly broad and urged the Legislature to ask CARB to return with narrowly targeted fee proposals so lawmakers could exercise oversight.

- Numerous industry groups (trucking, manufacturing, towing, port, and moving/storage) opposed the broad delegation; environmental groups said the principle of a polluter-pay model is sound but recommended legislative restrictions and transparency.

Ending note

Lawmakers did not adopt trailer-bill language at the hearing. The debate is likely to continue as the Legislature balances the need for stable program funding against constitutional and policy concerns about fee-setting authority.","CARB told a Senate subcommittee it needs statutory trailer-bill authority to recover regulatory costs by charging fees to regulated entities; the Legislative Analyst's Office and multiple industry groups opposed a broad delegation and urged narrower, targeted fee legislation or case-by-case BCPs.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6574879,"CARB begins scientific review of E15; industry pushes for quick authorization while LAO urges limited-term staffing",283,8842000,9125000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9&start=8842&end=9125","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172295-28ced773466f19c8a35382bbc4ca7af9/thumbnail_8842000.jpg","/articles/6574879/California/CARB-begins-scientific-review-of-E15-industry-pushes-for-quick-authorization-while-LAO-urges-limited-term-staffing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6574879-5e1146ffb84b53651e59f4d065ffee59/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447908&Signature=I1PXHU77ZopzCb-G-olsz3IzNVYpMCs5-5lSvHjJyTpbRwboT0qgJqdNXv6vTtKAEwyIJMTlLfWSRGkNaSObrnunN96XohoVdOaC34NtsDM~0UBYrBtwA~NCYKPoKDZSfYsXBSvKqP3~SHijpedPW1EnmMz-HDMO-64mMxZ-KVp35GzDLczGQ6pyl4GFdowS8-MhNRkppUgqMEWktCr5oF5QlBLoI2hzALUSaxSbksVRoMS-8LTtBKCjRSZJKlnMsB3XJ0rCVmAJY0rrBE4KW2r~hSGnhkrkZgaET7sCCZTqPriUT571PVuWdv1RnJ3ZCcet83gKqO-3F68F-8UO9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California Air Resources Board told the Senate Budget Subcommittee No. 2 on May 1 that it is conducting statutory scientific and multimedia evaluations required before the agency may change the state fuel specification to allow gasoline blended with up to 15% ethanol (E15). CARB asked the Legislature for funding and 10 permanent positions to complete evaluation, rulemaking and expected implementation work; the Legislative Analyst's Office recommended limited-term positions because the scientific outcome is not yet final.

CARB described the multimedia evaluation process as a statutory prerequisite for initiating rulemaking. CARB staff said a \"tier 2\" emissions analysis was published and that, so far, the data do not show a clear emissions disbenefit in criteria or toxic pollutants from moving from E10 to E15, but the agency must still complete the full multimedia evaluation before initiating regulatory changes.

Why it matters: California is the only state that has not authorized E15 for broader sales; federal EPA decisions and labeling rules were discussed during the hearing. CARB said it needs staff not only to draft regulations but also to manage downstream effects on related programs such as the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and fuel distribution infrastructure.

Positions of actors and stakeholders

- CARB: Requested $2.388 million and 10 permanent positions to complete the multimedia evaluation and proceed to rulemaking and implementation; staff said attracting permanent hires will help the agency move efficiently through the administrative process and manage expected fuel-testing, enforcement and LCFS workload.

- LAO: Recommended converting the request to limited-term positions because the agency is still completing the multimedia evaluation required by statute and the scope and scale of ongoing implementation work remain uncertain.

- Industry and advocates: Biofuel producers and proponents (including POET and Growth Energy) urged funding and a clear timetable, saying E15 is approved for most model-year 2001-and-newer vehicles and can reduce pump prices; others asked CARB to analyze impacts on older engines and distribution infrastructure.

Ending note

No regulatory decision was made at the hearing. CARB said it will complete its multimedia evaluation and then initiate the rulemaking process if the science supports a specification change; the LAO and several senators urged a cautious approach to permanent hiring until the evaluation is complete.","CARB told the Senate subcommittee it is conducting the multimedia scientific evaluation required before any E15 fuel-spec change; the agency requested permanent staff to carry the rulemaking through to implementation, but the Legislative Analyst's Office recommended limited-term positions because the outcome of the study remains uncertain.","actionData","errors"]
