FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — A bill is now on Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk that could disproportionately impact families in the Central Valley and nearby foothill and mountain communities.
Assembly Bill 1346 would end the production of gas-powered small, off-road engines--used in lawn and garden equipment and generators-- by January 1, 2024.
It would replace the gas-powered engines with zero emission battery technology.
"It doesn’t compare to what you’d get with a gas-powered unit,” says Robert Vasquez, with Jensen and Pilegard in Clovis.
Vasquez says the shop doesn’t just sell gas-powered equipment—it also services it.
"That’s really gonna affect our business if we lose generator sales due to emissions," Vasquez says.
Authors of the bill say small off-road engines produced more emissions than cars in 2020.
There is nothing "progressive" about "Progressives".
