Bill > A10098

This bill enacts the "advanced clean fleets law" to reduce vehicle emissions for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The key provisions include: 1. Setting goals for zero-emission vehicles, including 50% of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2031, 80% by 2036, and 100% by 2041. 2. Requiring fleet operators to report detailed information about their vehicle fleets, including the number and types of vehicles, fuel types, usage patterns, and other operational details. 3. Prohibiting the purchase or lease of non-zero emission or non-near zero emission drayage trucks starting in 2028 and medium- and heavy-duty vehicles starting in 2041. 4. Establishing a navigation program to provide information and assistance to fleet operators, and requiring annual reporting on the state of the trucking industry's compliance with the law. 5. Imposing penalties for noncompliance, with higher fines for repeat violations. The bill aims to accelerate the transition to zero-emission and near-zero emission vehicles in the medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sector, which is an important step in reducing overall vehicle emissions and advancing the state's climate goals.
