. Local and regional authorities have the primary
responsibility for control of air pollution from all sources other
than vehicular sources. The control of vehicular sources, except as
otherwise provided in this division, shall be the responsibility of
the State Air Resources Board. Except as otherwise provided in this
division, including, but not limited to, Sections 41809, 41810, and
41904, local and regional authorities may establish stricter
standards than those set by law or by the state board for
nonvehicular sources. However, the state board shall, after holding
public hearings as required in this division, undertake control
activities in any area wherein it determines that the local or
regional authority has failed to meet the responsibilities given to
it by this division or by any other provision of law.
