Link is to the pdf final regulation.
Take your vehicle in for repair, ...
they are required to complete the tire air inspection.
Sure you can decline, but have to either provide proof it was done in the last 30 days or promise to have it done in a week.
Decline and then try to sell your car later...
If it wasn’t amended, you get cited for incorrect pressure based on the repair shop’s readings.
How many times you got laid
How much laundry you did
How many breathes of air you consumed.
Another make-work position for a government bureaucrat........
” coming soon, keeping records on how many times you took a $hit.
How many times you got laid
How much laundry you did
How many breathes of air you consumed.”
.. I think MD already taxes all of them
That would be a pretty thin file for me these days...
The check is NOT required if the tires are deemed to be unsafe.
How is that government efficiency? They will send you back on the road with bald tires onto an occassionally wet, oil slicked highway, but let's make sure you are not adding to your carbon footprint!
Then toss in the transients. Ambient air temperature changes change tire pressure. Tires heat up under high speed driving, changing tire pressure. Pressure is relative, it'll read one thing at sea level, another when you drive up into the mountains. Beach driving or other soft-surface (mud) often requires you to lower tire pressure to increase contact patch size. Tire and vehicle manufacturers recommendations are based on average loading, light or heavy vehicle loading may require adjustments for optimal performance.
So, after all that, some big-government bureaucrat is going to try to tell me, and Joe down at the service station what the right tire pressure is? And just how well calibrated is Joe's gauge? Hey, I know, lets create more regulation and bureaucracy related to the gauges, more un-paid work for Joe...yeah, that'll help the economy.
Wait a minute - isn’t this what 0 proposed - that we were to do this for better gas mileage?
2 Nov. 2010 - Voters “regulate” California government.
WE ARE NOW ENERGY INDEPENDENT. PARTY TIME!
I have bad news people, new vehicles with an on board air pressure monitoring system can beam a signal to a freeway data acquisition box with your ID and you may get a fine if you are driving on under inflated tires.
Not a joke or a conspiracy, most new vehicles have this, all it takes is the go ahead from the Feds or the state to get a signal from your Onstar or such. You may not even have to drive the vehicle, you get a fine for it before it leaves your driveway, after a warning.
Yup.

"But we could save all the oil they're talking about getting off drilling if everyone was just inflating their tires."
They will be installing meters that can check on all those things from satellites in space. You WILL be getting a visit soon.
CA should just get it over with and assign every household and business a State Nanny to watch over every move, ensure compliance with every regulation and submit all of the applicable reports to the appropriate Cheif Nanny agencies.
When are Californians going to wake up, and say “NO!” to nanny-state tyranny?
Because then they've got you coming and going.
“How many times you got laid, how much laundry you did, how many breathes of air you consumed”.... You mean AT THE SAME TIME?!!!
