HB 1965 State Air Pollution Control Board; low-emissions and zero-emissions vehicle program.
Introduced by: Lamont Bagby | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
State Air Pollution Control Board; low-emissions and zero-emissions vehicle program. Directs the State Air Pollution Control Board to implement a low-emissions and zero-emissions vehicle program for motor vehicles with a model year of 2025 and later. Regulations adopted by the Board to implement the program are exempt from the Administrative Process Act and shall not become effective prior to January 1, 2024. The bill requires that the regulations adopted by the Board will allow any motor vehicle manufacturer to establish a Virginia-specific zero-emission vehicle credit account and to make an initial deposit into its account. Such credits may be traded or sold or used to meet up to 18 percent of the manufacturer's zero-emissions vehicle program credit requirements in any model year. The bill also authorizes the State Corporation Commission to exclude sales related to such vehicles from certain energy efficiency calculations.
