Bill > A08524

This bill postpones the implementation and enforcement of Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulations by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Specifically, the bill prevents the DEC from requiring automobile manufacturers to increase the percentage of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in their sales before January 1, 2028. The ACC II regulations are designed to reduce vehicle emissions by mandating that car manufacturers progressively sell a higher proportion of electric or other emission-free vehicles. By delaying the enforcement until 2028, the bill provides automobile manufacturers with additional time to adjust their production and sales strategies to meet the ZEV requirements. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, and it overrides any existing laws, rules, or regulations that might conflict with this postponement.
