Bill > H7578

This bill requires the Director of Administration to include specific information in their annual report to the General Assembly regarding motor vehicles owned by governmental bodies, specifically focusing on the "light-duty fleet," which refers to lighter vehicles like cars and small trucks. The report will now need to detail the number of vehicles categorized by their power source: combustion engine (traditional gasoline or diesel), hybrid (combining a combustion engine with an electric motor), plug-in hybrid (a hybrid that can also be charged from an external power source), and ZEV (Zero-Emission Vehicle), which are vehicles that produce no exhaust emissions. This expanded reporting will also include the total number of new vehicles purchased in each of these categories, their percentage within the overall light-duty fleet, and the cost per mile for each type of vehicle. The bill also defines ZEV as a vehicle that emits no exhaust pollutants or greenhouse gases, excluding air conditioning emissions. This act takes effect immediately upon its passage.
