Brown signs repeal of NOx law after lengthy session
Gov. Brown signed a bill repealing the NOx smog device requirement for about two million older cars in the South Coast after a five hour public session in Los Angeles. The measure ends the mandatory NOx device installation for 1966 to 1970 model cars tied to license plates, while still requiring installation on transfer of ownership. The session featured testimony from state and local officials, with Supervisor Kenneth Hahn urging enactment for public health and justice. The governor cited cost and modest anticipated gains, noting some tests showed minimal NOx reductions and potential installation issues. Cloudy, high near 67, low near 53.
