This is correct and has a lot to do with the NAAQS (federal air quality standards). It isn't at all about getting more money out of people. I know that's what some want to believe, and in a way it is related to money (highway dollars and other forms of federal $), but not the way some think. On some environmental things, CA is stricter than federal standards and that is a matter of choice.
