As you may know I'm into the GM 3500HD series trucks and have a forum for them. They are 15000 GVW trucks - looks like they (diesel) will be outlawed in California. Here is the law cite:
Bill Text
4000.15.
(a) Effective January 1, 2020, the department shall confirm, prior to the initial registration or the transfer of ownership and registration of a diesel-fueled vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 14,000 pounds, that the vehicle is compliant with, or exempt from, applicable air pollution control technology requirements pursuant to Division 26 (commencing with Section 39000) of the Health and Safety Code and regulations of the State Air Resources Board adopted pursuant to that division.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (c), for diesel-fueled vehicles subject to Section 43018 of the Health and Safety Code, as applied to the reduction of emissions of diesel particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, and other criteria pollutants from in-use diesel-fueled vehicles, and Section 2025 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations as it read January 1, 2017, or as subsequently amended:

Been telling the guys if you get stopped by a cop - just tell them you are an illegal alien and they'll cut you loose. ;)

Because of the distribution of it's population an relatively small area of California makes all of the laws. California is gone. What is alarming is that ALL western states are far down the same road. Clark County(Las Vegas) has 90% of Nevada's population. They can outvote the rest of the state. The battle is now between rural and urban Americans. In the 1990 census 90% of all Americans lived it 300 cities and less than 1% were involved in agriculture. It's worse now. The good news is we have an all volunteer military, the rural population is better armed and can feed themselves.

My 3500 is gas powered, but for small company that rely on older diesel box trucks and 3500's to do business this will screw them up bad. Californicate os so jacked up.

Will this have any impact on such vehicles as dump trucks, graders and front end loaders?
-
I would think it only affects motor vehicles registered for the road....but it's California.

A friend here who did a lot of work in California dropped his license there because some of his equipment was illegal to run there. Mainly his old Bobcat.
