small off-road engines, as defined by the state board. The bill would require the state board to identify and, to the extent feasible, make available funding for commercial rebates or similar incentive funding as part of any updates to existing applicable funding program guidelines to local air pollution control districts and air quality management districts to implement to support the transition to zero-emission small off-road equipment operations.
Full Breakdown
Victorville has not adopted a local ban on gas-powered leaf blowers, so landscapers serving neighborhoods from Spring Valley Lake to Desert Knolls can still operate gas blowers during daytime hours that comply with VMC Chapter 13.01 residential limits. California Assembly Bill 1346, administered by the California Air Resources Board, prohibits the sale of new gas-powered small off-road engines (SORE) including leaf blowers starting January 1, 2024. Existing gas blowers remain legal to own and use, but dealers cannot sell new units, which will gradually retire gas equipment across the High Desert over coming years. The Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) also pushes electric equipment through rebate programs that help residents and contractors switch. Dust control matters more than usual in Victorville because Joshua trees, creosote flats, and dry lake soils produce easily airborne PM10 when blown, and MDAQMD Rule 403 on fugitive dust can be enforced alongside noise limits.
