HOUSE BILL No. 5042

 

June 4, 2009, Introduced by Rep. Smith and referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.

 

     A bill to amend 1984 PA 431, entitled

 

"The management and budget act,"

 

(MCL 18.1101 to 18.1594) by adding section 214.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 214. Not later than December 31, 2009, the director shall

 

issue directives for the purchase of and retrofitting of state

 

owned motor vehicles to achieve the greatest fuel efficiency and

 

use of alternative fuels that is practicable at a reasonable cost.

 

The directives shall include all of the following goals:

 

     (a) All of the lightweight trucks each state agency purchases

 

after December 31, 2009 shall be alternative energy vehicles as

 

defined in MCL 207.822. Lightweight trucks using other forms of

 

alternative fuels shall be preferred to those using E85 fuel, as

 

that term is defined in section 78 of the Michigan strategic fund

 

act, 1984 PA 270, MCL 125.2078.

 

     (b) Fifty percent or more of the motor vehicles a state agency

 

purchases annually after December 31, 2009 for passenger transport

 

shall be alternative energy vehicles as defined in MCL 207.822.

 

     (c) All state owned trucks for the model years 2007 and later

 

shall be retrofitted to achieve greater fuel efficiency or operate

 

on alternative fuels that reduce harmful emissions if the savings

 

from the retrofit make it cost-efficient to do so.
