Bill > HR82

This resolution directs the Joint State Government Commission (JSGC), a legislative research agency, to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study on establishing a low-emission and zero-emission vehicle program in Pennsylvania. The study will investigate multiple aspects of such a program, including examining existing efforts and procedures, performing an economic impact analysis, identifying infrastructure requirements, and exploring potential funding mechanisms. The JSGC is instructed to consult with various organizations focused on areas like air quality, auto manufacturing, economics, environment, health, transportation, and rural and urban affairs to gather data and expertise. These organizations will help provide insights into the potential benefits and challenges of implementing a statewide low-emission and zero-emission vehicle program. The resolution requires the JSGC to produce a detailed report with findings and recommendations, which must be submitted to the Governor and General Assembly within 18 months of the resolution's adoption. The context for this resolution is drawn from Nevada's "Clean Cars Nevada" initiative, which aims to reduce vehicle emissions, provide more vehicle choices, and potentially generate economic and health benefits for residents.
