LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 627, as amended, Jackson. Heavy-duty Drayage trucks: voucher incentive project.Existing law establishes the State Air Resources Board as the state agency responsible for monitoring and regulating sources emitting greenhouse gases. The state board, in this capacity, administers the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project under which the agency issues a limited number of vouchers to incentivize the purchase and use of zero-emission commercial vehicles. The Budget Act of 2023 appropriated funds from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to the state board for zero-emission drayage trucks to be administered through the project and, in expending those funds, requires the state board, before January 1, 2025, to limit the number and award amount levels under the project based on fleet size.This bill would require the state board to ensure that a voucher provided under the project for the purchase or retrofit of a new or used heavy-duty of a new, or the retrofit of a used, drayage truck is provided to an operator in specified amounts an amount determined pursuant to a sliding scale established by the state board, based on the number of heavy-duty drayage trucks that the operator owns. In administering the project, the bill would require the state board to prioritize the award of those vouchers to operators meeting certain criteria. The bill would also require the state board to ensure that these vouchers may be used to purchase a heavy-duty new drayage truck using, or to retrofit a heavy-duty used drayage truck to use, hydrogen fuel cell or battery electric technology as its source of propulsion.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. Chapter 5.7 (commencing with Section 44170) is added to Part 5 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, to read: CHAPTER 5.7 California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project44170.

(a) A voucher for the purchase of a new drayage truck, or the retrofit of a used drayage truck, shall be in an amount determined pursuant to a sliding scale that shall be established by the state board. The sliding scale shall authorize increased vouchers in different amounts for fleets of 50 or fewer, 30 or fewer, or 5 or fewer vehicles.(b) In administering the project to provide vouchers described in subdivision (a), the state board shall prioritize awarding those vouchers to both of the following:(1) Operators for the replacement or retrofit of diesel-fueled heavy-duty purchase of new, or the retrofit of used, drayage trucks that transport goods between the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, or Oakland and warehouses located in the state.(2) Operators who own 30 five or fewer heavy-duty drayage trucks.(c) The state board may only award a voucher described in subdivision (a) under the project if the moneys provided by the voucher will be used to replace purchase a new, or retrofit a used, diesel-fueled heavy-duty drayage truck that operates exclusively in California.(d) The state board shall ensure that a voucher described in subdivision (a) may be used to purchase a heavy-duty truck using, or to retrofit a heavy-duty truck to use, new drayage truck that uses, or to retrofit a used drayage truck to use, hydrogen fuel cell or battery electric technology as its source of propulsion.(e) This chapter does not prohibit the state board from awarding vouchers to vehicles other than drayage trucks as a part of the project. | |
