CA AB1622

Requires the Department of Consumer Affairs to provide licensed smog check stations with signs informing customers about strategies to deter catalytic converter theft, including etching identifying information like license plate or vehicle identification numbers on converters.

Mandates signs be posted conspicuously in areas frequented by customers and requires them in all licensed smog check stations.

Authorizes smog check stations where repairs are performed to offer catalytic converter etching as an optional service in conjunction with smog check inspections.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts under Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the bill only creates new regulatory requirements related to criminal violations.
