South Coast Air Quality Management District: adverse effects of air pollution: intellectual property.

Existing law creates the South Coast Air Quality Management District with jurisdiction over air quality within the South Coast Air Basin, including in the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino. This bill would authorize the south coast district to sponsor, coordinate, and promote projects that will lead to the prevention, mitigation, or cure of the adverse effects of air pollution, including the adverse health effects of air pollution. The bill would authorize the south coast district to determine what share, if any, of the intellectual property, or benefits resulting from intellectual property, developed from the use of district funds, including funds discharged as grants, will accrue to the south coast district.
