Existing law creates the Air Quality Improvement Program, administered by the state board, to fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, air quality improvement projects relating to fuel and vehicle technologies.This bill would require the state board to establish the Zero-Emission Aftermarket Conversion Project (ZACP) by allocating no less than a total of $2,000,000 annually from the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project or any other clean vehicle rebate program, as described, or other state or federal funding sources (ZCAP), upon appropriation by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act or other statute or, at the discretion of the state board, using moneys available from another clean transportation program, to provide an applicant who is a California resident with a rebate for an eligible vehicle that has been converted into a zero-emission vehicle.
