AI Summary

This bill requires the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to replace all motor vehicles owned and operated by the state with zero-emission vehicles, starting in 2020 for light-duty passenger vehicles and 2021 for heavy-duty vehicles. The only exceptions are cases where a zero-emission vehicle cannot perform the intended duties of the vehicle. In those instances, the vehicle must be replaced with a vehicle that has above-average fuel efficiency for its size class.
