Summary

SB 419 creates a temporary exemption from California’s state sales and use tax for the sale, storage, and consumption of hydrogen fuel, defined as fuel sold at hydrogen stations for fuel‑cell or hydrogen‑combustion vehicles. The exemption does not apply to any county, city, or district taxes, nor to state tax rates dedicated to the Local Revenue Fund 2011. The measure also requires annual reporting on sales and revenue to assess the exemption’s impact.
