Citator

Cal. Health & Safety Code § 42420 — Compliance Programs is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares as follows:

(a)  District enforcement programs should be prioritized to ensure that the imposition of civil and criminal penalties is commensurate with the severity of the violation.

(b)  Districts shall endeavor to establish, where appropriate, alternatives to civil or criminal penalties for those circumstances in which the violation neither contributes to, nor potentially conceals, an emission that significantly contributes to unhealthful air quality.
