§ 43830.5. Notwithstanding any other law, the Governor shall suspend the regulatory control

Notwithstanding any other law, the Governor shall suspend the regulatory control periods under Section 2262.4 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, during which gasoline exceeding the Reid vapor pressure limits in Title 13, Section 2262 of the California Code of Regulations may not be sold or supplied for use in the state, if the Governor, in consultation with the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission and the state board, determines the average retail gasoline price increased substantially or is projected to increase substantially within any 30-day period and a suspension is necessary to protect consumers in the state from extraordinary gasoline price increases and determines, in the Governor’s discretion, that suspension is prudent and unlikely to yield unintended consequences. In considering whether to suspend the regulatory control periods, as described in this section, the Governor shall consider the air quality effects and options to mitigate those effects, if necessary and subject to available resources.
