Bill > SB69

This bill modifies the Clean Cars 4 All Program, which is administered by the California State Air Resources Board to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality while benefiting low-income residents by replacing high-polluting vehicles with cleaner alternatives. The bill introduces a new funding mechanism that allows participating air districts to request additional funding if their program balance falls below their previous four months of expenditures. If sufficient funds are available, the state board must issue the requested funding within 60 days. The bill also maintains existing requirements for how funding is allocated, including considerations like the number of vouchers deployed, proportion of completed transactions, demand for vouchers, and investment in underserved populations. Additionally, the bill allows districts to use up to 10% of their allocated funds for outreach programs, with specific requirements for districts spending more than 5% on outreach, such as submitting descriptions of their efforts and targeting households in most-impacted census tracts, low-income families, non-English speaking households, and other underserved populations. The bill also mandates annual reporting to legislative budget committees about program funding, performance metrics, and grant awards, which must be submitted electronically and posted online.
