Bill > SF727

This bill repeals specific Minnesota Rules related to clean car standards (parts 7023.0150, 7023.0200, 7023.0250, and 7023.0300), effectively eliminating the state's current regulations on low-emission vehicles and zero-emission vehicles. These rules previously required motor vehicle manufacturers to comply with California's emissions standards, including maintaining fleet average emission levels, affixing environmental performance labels, providing defect warranties, and implementing recall requirements for certain vehicles. The regulations also mandated that manufacturers include a specific percentage of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in their sales fleets and maintain a credit system for tracking these vehicles. By repealing these rules, the bill removes the state's requirement for vehicle manufacturers to meet the California-based emissions standards, which were designed to reduce air pollution from vehicles. The repeal would effectively return Minnesota to federal emissions standards and eliminate the state-specific clean car rules that were previously incorporated from California's regulatory framework.
