| | CMTA legislative database | AB 2042 - Air Pollution: Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles |
 | | As long as this bill continues to include an emissions cap for the ports by a date certain, and then a no-net-increase in emissions thereafter, this bill will be a major threat to California’s economy. |
 | | As amended, August 17, AB 2042 establishes air emission limits which will impose growth and operations limits on the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach adversely affecting California’s participation in world markets and ultimately impacting the recovery and growth of California’s economy. |
 | | • AB 2042 recommends a Memorandum of Understanding between parties yet sabotages any prospect of success in achieving this goal by establishing date specific baselines and limits on emissions, eliminating any incentive for the parties, except the ports, to reach consensus. |
