California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 39613

The state board shall impose a fee for any consumer product, as defined in Section 41712, sold in the state and any architectural coating sold in the state if a manufacturer's total sales of consumer products or architectural coatings will result in the emission in the state of 250 tons per year or greater of volatile organic compounds. Revenues collected from the imposition of this fee shall be used to mitigate or reduce air pollution in the state created by consumer products and architectural coatings, as determined by the state board, and shall be expended solely for those programs.
