Summary
Would have prohibited CARB, by January 1, 2026, from enforcing any regulation requiring the purchase and use of zero-emission trucks that have greater than 8,500 pounds gross vehicle weight rating operating at land ports of entry, which the bill defined as land ports of entry on the California-Mexico border within a commercial zone. This bill would have also required CARB, after January 1, 2026, if enforcing regulations requiring the purchase and use of zero-emission trucks with greater than 8,500 pounds gross vehicle weight rating operating at a land port of entry within a commercial zone, to have the burden of proof that a regulated fleet operator has reasonable access to an economically feasible charging or fueling infrastructure. This bill would have also provided a number of exemptions to heavy-duty truck electrification regulations. Was not heard in the Assembly Transportation Committee.
