AI Summary

This bill aims to convert the state government fleet to electric vehicles. It requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, in consultation with other state agencies, to create and maintain an inventory of motor vehicles owned or leased by the state and plan to convert them to zero-emission vehicles. Starting in 2024, any replacement of state-owned or leased vehicles on a "critical replacement list" must be with zero-emission vehicles. The bill also requires the Department of Transportation to develop recommendations for siting zero-emission vehicle charging facilities and conduct a study on opportunities for near-term electrification of municipal, regional school, and regional transit authority fleets.
