Bill > HB3119

This bill delays the implementation of the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulations in Oregon, which are part of California's Low Emission Vehicle program. Specifically, the bill prevents the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) from enforcing these regulations before January 1, 2027. The ACT regulations would have required manufacturers of medium-duty and heavy-duty motor vehicles to gradually increase their sales of zero-emissions vehicles. By defining the ACT regulations and explicitly prohibiting their enforcement until 2027, the bill effectively pauses the state's adoption of these strict truck emissions standards. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it would take effect immediately upon passage, underscoring the urgent nature of the legislation from the perspective of its sponsors. The delay provides additional time for manufacturers, trucking companies, and other stakeholders to prepare for the eventual implementation of these more stringent emissions requirements.
