Vehicles: pollution control devices.

Existing law prohibits a person from installing, selling, offering for sale, or advertising any device, apparatus, or mechanism intended for use with, or as a part of, a required motor vehicle pollution control device or system that alters or modifies the original design or performance of the motor vehicle pollution control device or system. A violation of this provision is a crime. This bill would create an exception to this prohibition for a new aftermarket catalytic converter that has been approved for sale and use by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as specified.
