| Comment | Dear Chair Randolph and Members of the Board, I am a California resident and I support the adoption of new regulations that will phase out the sale of polluting (and noisy) gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn equipment in California. This equipment contributes unnecessarily to California's air pollution. Your own health benefit analysis determined that these new regulations, if adopted, would be most helpful. The California Legislature also appropriated $30 million for your agency to distribute to small proprietor landscapers to help them buy replacement equipment. This is in addition to subsidies and buy back programs already led by air districts throughout the state. 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. |
