The Louisiana Community Air Monitoring Reliability Act, enacted as Chapter 16-A of Title 30 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, establishes standards for community air monitoring programs to ensure the public has access to accurate air quality information. The Act outlines the purpose, applicability, and definitions relevant to community air monitoring, including the types of pollutants monitored and the entities involved. It mandates that community air monitoring programs adhere to science-based standards and utilize approved methods for data collection and analysis, ensuring the integrity of the data collected.

Additionally, the Act specifies requirements for data communication and prohibits the use of non-compliant monitoring data for enforcement actions against stationary sources. It emphasizes that data from community air monitoring programs alone cannot demonstrate violations of air quality regulations. The Act also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The Act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
