Bill > HB1248

This bill amends the Government Zero-Emission Vehicle Act to require that starting January 1, 2030, all passenger vehicles purchased or leased by governmental units in the state must be manufactured in the United States by a company headquartered in the United States, with an exception for law enforcement vehicles. This provision aims to support domestic automotive manufacturing by ensuring that government vehicle procurement prioritizes U.S.-based companies and manufacturing. The bill represents a significant shift in government procurement policies, potentially providing economic benefits to U.S. auto manufacturers while potentially limiting the range of vehicle options for government agencies.
