Bill > H3490

This bill modifies previous legislation related to electric vehicles by removing two specific provisions from Chapter 179 of the Acts of 2022. Specifically, the bill eliminates the provision that mandated ceasing sales of non-zero-emission vehicles (gas-powered cars) by December 31, 2035, while retaining language about advancing access to and affordability of electric vehicle charging and fueling infrastructure. By striking out Sections 46 and 96 of the original chapter, the legislation effectively rolls back a previous commitment to phase out traditional gasoline-powered vehicles in the state by 2035. The bill appears to maintain the goal of supporting electric vehicle adoption through infrastructure improvements, but removes the strict sales deadline for non-zero-emission vehicles. This change could provide more flexibility for consumers and the automotive market in the state's transition to electric vehicles.
