AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to conduct a comprehensive study on incentives for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), which are vehicles that produce no tailpipe emissions, such as fully electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The department is mandated to prepare and submit a formal report to the interim legislative committees focused on environmental matters by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations to promote ZEV adoption. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study requirement will automatically be repealed on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited legislative directive. The bill's purpose appears to be gathering information to help policymakers understand potential strategies for encouraging the use of environmentally friendly vehicles through targeted incentives.
