Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation: appeals advisory committee: exemptions.
Returned to Secretary of Senate pursuant to Joint Rule 56.
Summary
The bill would require the California Air Resources Board to set up an Appeals Advisory Committee that hears and recommends on denied exemption or time‑extension requests for government and private fleets. It also widens the emergency‑vehicle exemption, stops the board from demanding proof of a zero‑emission vehicle purchase agreement, and lets fleets request an internal‑combustion‑engine replacement when a suitable electric truck isn’t available. The measure failed to pass.
