LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1387, as amended, Newman.
California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project: vehicle eligibility.
Existing law establishes the State Air Resources Board as the state agency responsible for monitoring and regulating sources emitting greenhouse gases. The state board, in this capacity, administers the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project under which the agency issues a limited number of vouchers to incentivize the purchase and use of zero-emission commercial vehicles.
This bill would require the state board to authorize a voucher issued under the program to be used for the acquisition of any zero-emission vehicle that meets specified requirements, including that the vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating that exceeds 8,500 pounds and the vehicle is purchased for fleet operations by a public or private fleet or for personal and commercial use by an individual. If the voucher is
provided to an individual to acquire a vehicle for personal and commercial use, the bill would require that individual to attest under penalty of perjury that the vehicle will be substantially primarily be used in furtherance of a valid commercial or business purpose. purpose, including, but not limited to, hauling or towing. The bill would authorize the state board to adopt regulations to implement these requirements.
By requiring this attestation under the penalty of perjury, the bill would expand the crime of perjury, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
