The bill, known as the Louisiana Community Air Monitoring Reliability Act, establishes a new 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 of community air monitoring programs, standards for data collection, and requirements for data communication. The Act aims to ensure that the data collected from these programs provides the public with accurate air quality information and outlines the applicability of the chapter to entities implementing such programs. It also defines key terms related to air quality and monitoring, including "ambient air," "criteria air pollutants," and "reporting entities."

Additionally, the Act sets forth specific requirements for community air monitoring programs, including adherence to science-based standards and the use of EPA-approved methods for data collection. It prohibits the use of monitoring data that does not comply with the established standards for enforcement actions against stationary sources. The bill emphasizes the importance of data integrity and communication, requiring clear explanations of data interpretation and limitations. It also includes a severability clause to ensure that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. The Act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time period for bills to become law without signature.
