CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 3219


Introduced by Assembly Member Sanchez

February 16, 2024


An act to add Section 43109 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to air pollution.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 3219, as amended, Sanchez. Advanced Clean Fleets regulations: Regulation: local governments.
Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt and implement motor vehicle emission standards, in-use performance standards, and motor vehicle fuel specifications for the control of air contaminants and sources of air pollution that the state board has found necessary, cost effective, and technologically feasible. The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 establishes the state board as the state agency responsible for monitoring and regulating sources emitting greenhouse gases and requires the state board to adopt rules and regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective greenhouse gas emission reductions from those sources.
Pursuant to its authority, the state board has adopted the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation, which imposes various requirements for transitioning local, state, and federal government fleets of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, other high-priority fleets of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and drayage trucks to zero-emission vehicles. The Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation authorizes entities subject to the regulation to apply for exemptions from its requirements under certain circumstances.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would allow a local government that declares a fiscal emergency, through an ordinance, to be provided a delay from complying with the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation.

This bill would provide that the requirements of the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation do not apply to the purchase by a local government of vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 8,500 pounds if the price of the zero-emission version of a vehicle is more than an unspecified percentage of the price of a comparable internal combustion engine version of that vehicle.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 43109 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:

43109.
 The requirements of Article 3.2 (commencing with Section 2013) of Chapter 1 of Division 3 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations do not apply to the purchase by a local government of vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 8,500 pounds if the price of the zero-emission version of the vehicle is more than ____ percent of the price of a comparable internal combustion engine version of that vehicle.

SECTION 1.

It is the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would allow a local government that declares a fiscal emergency, through an ordinance, to be provided a delay from complying with the Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation (Article 3.2 (commencing with Section 2013) of Chapter 1 of Division 3 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations).
