The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously on August 14 to support CA legislation AB 700, a move that would effectively form a stakeholders’ advisory committee to analyze pertinent studies and advise on how to mitigate the air pollution impacts from Santa Monica Airport operations.

The legislation was authored by Assemblyman Ted Lieu and co-authored by Assemblywoman Julia Brownley. The council motion was introduced by LA City Councilman Bill Rosendahl.

"This vote sends a clear message to Sacramento that we must mitigate the air pollution impacts from Santa Monica Airport,” Rosendahl said.

AB 700 will be heard at the CA Senate Appropriations Committee on August 20.
