NATIONAL CITY, CA – National City officials have passed a law that prohibits diesel trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds from idling more than five minutes, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. The law is aimed at stopping truck driving schools from practicing maneuvers and idling within 100 feet of a school, but it is also intended to reduce all truck idling in the city.

A man died in February after his family said exhaust from a Momax Truck Driving School big rig induced an asthma attack. Community members and Kimball Elementary teachers rallied the City Council to prevent it from happening again.

Environmental Health Coalition activists want the new law named after Javier Jimenez, the man who died, the newspaper reported. It goes into effect in 30 days.
