California and a Trucking Company Settle Fake Emissions Compliance Allegations for $2.38 Million
A trucking company has been ordered to pay millions of dollars for allegedly obtaining state funds by falsifying compliance with California emission standards.
On August 4, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that Complete Logistics Company, LLC (CLC) is to pay a $2.38 million settlement after the carrier falsely claimed compliance with California emissions regulations in order to obtain $2.2 million in state grants to purchase newer, cleaner trucks.
Ninety percent of the settlement will go to CARB while the remaining 10% will go to the California Department of Justice.
