Introduced Text

New Jersey S2252 directs the Department of Environmental Protection to implement California's low emissions vehicle program, excluding zero emission.

New Jersey S2252 mandates the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to adopt rules and regulations to implement California's current low emissions vehicle program, effective January 1, 2009. The bill clarifies that the term "California Low Emission Vehicle program" refers to the entire program, not just its second phase. It prohibits the DEP from increasing the zero emission vehicle requirement beyond the level in effect as of November 1, 2023, but allows for incentives and market mechanisms to boost the number of zero emission vehicles in the state.
