§ 19-1103. Vehicle global warming index labels.1.  No  model  year  two  thousand  ten or subsequent model year motor   vehicle shall be sold  in  this  state  unless  there  is  securely  and   conspicuously  affixed  in  a clearly visible location, a label on which   the manufacturer shall endorse clearly, distinctly, and legibly true and   correct entries  disclosing  information  concerning  the  emissions  of   global warming gases.2.  Unless  alternative  labeling  is  approved  by  the  commissioner   pursuant to section  19-1105  of  this  title,  the  label  required  by   subdivision one of this section shall include:a.  a  global  warming  index  that  contains quantitative information   presented in a continuous, easy-to-read scale, unless  the  commissioner   determines,   after   public  hearing,  that  an  alternative  graphical   representation  will  more  effectively  convey   the   information   to   consumers,  and that compares the emissions of global warming gases from   the vehicle with the average projected emissions of global warming gases   from all vehicles of the same model year. For  reference  purposes,  the   index shall also identify the emissions of global warming gases from the   vehicle  model  of that same model year that has the lowest emissions of   global warming gases; andb.  the  use  of  at  least  one  color  ink,  as  determined  by  the   commissioner, in addition to black.3.  In  order  to  ensure  that the label is useful and informative to   consumers, the commissioner shall, in designing the  label  and  to  the   extent feasible within its existing resources:a.  seek  input  from  the  commissioner of motor vehicles, automotive   consumers, graphic design professionals, and persons with  expertise  in   environmental labeling; andb.  consider  other relevant label formats consistent with paragraph a   of subdivision two of this section.4. The index  included  in  the  label  pursuant  to  paragraph  a  of   subdivision two of this section shall be updated as determined necessary   by  the  commissioner  to ensure that the differences in emissions among   vehicles are readily apparent to the consumer.5. Such label and index included in such label shall, to  the  largest   extent  possible,  be consistent with labels and information required by   other states. A  label  that  complies  with  the  requirements  of  the   California  vehicle  labeling  program  shall  be  deemed  to  meet  the   requirements of this title. An automobile manufacturer may apply to  the   commissioner  for approval of an alternative to the labeling requirement   that is at least as effective in providing presale notification  of  the   vehicle's  emissions of global warming gases as is the labeling required   by this title.6. Nothing in  this  section  shall  be  construed  as  prohibiting  a   purchaser  from  removing the label required by this section, after such   purchaser has taken possession of the vehicle.
