Bill Summary

This concurrent resolution embodies the finding of the Legislature that the rule and regulations adopted by the Department of Environmental Protection in the December 20, 2021 New Jersey Register, 53 N.J.R. 2148(a), are not consistent with the intent of the Legislature. The Department of Environmental Protection would have 30 days from the date of transmittal of this resolution to amend or withdraw the rules and regulations or the Legislature may, by passage of another concurrent resolution, exercise its authority under the Constitution to invalidate the rules and regulations in whole or in part.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution declares that the rules and regulations adopted by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to implement the "Advanced Clean Trucks" program are inconsistent with the intent of the New Jersey Legislature. The "Advanced Clean Trucks" program, which incorporates rules from California, requires manufacturers of medium- and heavy-duty trucks to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission vehicles annually, with specific targets for different truck classes by 2035. The resolution states that while a 2003 law authorized the DEP to implement the second phase of California's low emission vehicle program, it did not grant authority for subsequent programs like "Advanced Clean Trucks," and the Legislature was not properly notified or given an opportunity to authorize its adoption. Consequently, the DEP has 30 days to amend or withdraw these rules, or the Legislature can pass another resolution to invalidate them.
