Massachusetts S2242 mandates municipalities to buy zero-emission vehicles for municipal use when available.
Massachusetts S2242 amends Chapter 25A of the General Laws to require municipalities to purchase only zero-emission vehicles for municipal use when such vehicles are commercially available and practicable. This change applies to green communities, replacing the previous requirement to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles. When zero-emission vehicles are not available or practicable, municipalities may still purchase other vehicles. The bill aims to promote environmental sustainability by increasing the use of zero-emission vehicles in municipal fleets.
