Bill > HF376

This bill repeals Minnesota's existing clean car rules, which were previously modeled after California's vehicle emission standards. Specifically, the bill eliminates four administrative rule parts (7023.0150, 7023.0200, 7023.0250, and 7023.0300) that established standards for low-emission vehicles and zero-emission vehicles in Minnesota. These rules had required vehicle manufacturers to meet certain fleet-wide emission standards for passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty vehicles, including requirements for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales percentages and specific greenhouse gas emission limits. By repealing these rules, the bill effectively removes the state's previous requirements for vehicle manufacturers to certify their vehicles to California's stringent emissions standards and eliminates the obligation to include a certain percentage of zero-emission vehicles in their sales fleets. The repeal would mean that vehicle manufacturers would no longer need to track and report emissions credits, maintain special labeling, or meet the previously established warranty and recall requirements related to these clean car standards.
