. (a) The south coast district board shall convene a task
force, that shall, on or before July 1, 2000, review, and assist in
updating, the south coast district's data base to ensure that any
small business, as determined by the task force, that is located
within the district and that may be affected by the adoption,
amendment, or repeal of an air quality regulation by the district
board, is included on the south coast district's mailing list.
(b) On and after July 1, 2000, the district shall mail, to each
small business identified pursuant to subdivision (a) and to each
local or regional authority within the district, notice of the time
and place of any public workshop scheduled by the south coast
district pursuant to Section 40440.7, to consider the adoption,
amendment, or repeal of any district rule or regulation that may
affect that small business or local or regional authority. The
inadvertent failure to mail notice to any particular business or
local or regional authority, as required by this subdivision, shall
not invalidate any action taken by the district board regarding the
adoption, amendment, or repeal of the district rule or regulation.

assistance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 40448, the
south coast district board shall establish a small business advisory
group comprised of district board members, industry trade association

provide guidance to the district board in implementing this section
and shall provide recommendations for public outreach, business
assistance, and rulemaking activities. The advisory group shall meet
on a regular basis, as determined by the district board.
(d) To the extent that the requirements of this section duplicate
or overlap with the requirements established pursuant to Section
40448 or 40448.8, the district may combine or consolidate its
activities in order to promote efficiency and nonduplication of
effort.
