Bill Summary

This bill permits counties and municipalities to issue bonds to acquire alternative fuel automotive vehicles. Counties and municipalities are currently prohibited under the Local Bond Law, N.J.S.40A:2-1 et seq., from issuing bonds to finance the acquisition of passenger cars and station wagons, regardless of whether these vehicles are powered by alternative fuel sources. This bill amends the Local Bond Law to authorize the acquisition of any newly purchased alternative fuel automotive vehicle, including but not limited to electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, natural gas vehicles, and propane vehicles. The bill defines an "alternative fuel automotive vehicle" as any passenger car, station wagon, or other motor vehicle that is not solely propelled by gasoline or diesel fuel.

AI Summary

This amendment to the Local Bond Law authorizes the acquisition of these alternative fuel vehicles, which were previously prohibited from being financed through bonding.
