Bill > A00349

This bill establishes a previously owned zero-emission vehicles rebate program, creating a new section in the public authorities law to offer incentives for individuals and organizations purchasing used electric vehicles, often referred to as zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) because they produce no tailpipe emissions. The program aims to reduce pollution and promote the adoption of these cleaner vehicles by providing rebates of up to $2,000 at the point of sale for eligible ZEVs that have been previously owned and are purchased from a retailer, whether in-person or online. The authority overseeing the program will define eligibility criteria, manage rebate allocations on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted, and is required to develop regulations, conduct outreach in multiple languages, and report annually on the program's status and impact, with the program set to expire on January 1, 2031.
