* California - Truckers case against CARB continues after ‘exemption’ surfaces
-- A Glenn County Superior Court judge has given a California trucking and business group another month in its case against the California Air Resources Board and diesel particulate filters... Judge Peter Twede on Friday gave the Alliance for California Business 30 days to file a brief in regards to an exemption CARB says truckers have in regards to the filter... A state attorney said Friday in court that truckers can file for an exemption if they believe the diesel particulate filter required by the state on older vehicles would cause unsafe conditions in their truck... While the state attorney said the exemption is well known, alliance attorney Therese Cannata said the alliance has never heard of this exemption... The alliance also believes CARB should be investigating the numerous truck fires throughout the state that it believes may be linked to the filters... Since 2014, CARB has been requiring the installation of diesel particulate filters to cut air pollution. Newer trucks come with filters, but the state has required older trucks to be equipped with the filters as well...
