I thought the laws regarding the use of refrigerants were federal EPA laws and thus would be the same across the USA.
Federal EPA laws are minimum. There's nothing that says the states can't add on additional restrictions. California is known for it's tougher air pollution laws. Even cars have different emission requirements in that state than others.
