The bill, known as the Louisiana Community Air Monitoring Reliability Act, establishes a framework for community air monitoring programs in Louisiana. It enacts Chapter 16-A of Title 30 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, which includes provisions for the creation, purpose, and standards of these monitoring programs. The Act aims to ensure that data collected from community air monitoring is accurate and accessible to the public. It outlines definitions for key terms, such as "ambient air," "criteria air pollutants," and "reporting entities," and specifies the applicability of the chapter to entities that implement community air monitoring programs.

Additionally, the bill sets forth requirements for data collection integrity, monitoring for criteria and hazardous air pollutants, and the communication of monitoring data. It prohibits the use of non-compliant monitoring data for enforcement actions against stationary sources, ensuring that only reliable data is utilized for regulatory purposes. The Act also includes a severability clause, stating that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time period for bills to become law without a signature.
