Summary

AB 620 adds a new section to the Health and Safety Code that directs the state board to evaluate the benefits of renting zero‑emission trucks and buses, not just purchasing them, as it creates rules for the fleet‑purchase assistance program. The rule would affect public and private fleet operators, rental firms, and the board that oversees the program, aiming to make fleet transitions more flexible, affordable, and environmentally beneficial. The bill was vetoed by the governor.
