Extends the Air Resources Board's (ARB) cap and trade authority through 2030.

Suspends the State Responsibility Area (SRA) fire prevention fee from July 1, 2017 to January 1, 2031, and sunsets the SRA fee thereafter. Extends and expands the existing manufacturer's partial sales and use tax exemption from July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2030.
