AI Summary

This bill aims to promote zero-emission vehicle fleets in Massachusetts by 2035. It establishes greenhouse gas emission limits for motor vehicle fleets, requiring 50% to be low-emission or zero-emission by 2025, 75% by 2030, and 100% zero-emission by 2035. The bill also sets targets for the Commonwealth's own vehicle purchases, with 10% low-emission in 2020 and 2021, and 40-100% zero-emission from 2022 to 2026. The Secretary is authorized to impose penalty fees for non-compliance, and these funds will be used to maintain and construct electric vehicle infrastructure, with priority given to environmental justice populations. The Secretary is also required to submit progress reports to the Legislature every five years, and may provide education, training, and technical assistance to fleet operators. Finally, the bill allows the Department of Public Utilities to consider utility ownership or management of electric vehicle infrastructure programs.
