Summary 

Would have required CARB, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to ensure that beginning January 1, 2025, an additional incentive is awarded under any light-duty zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) incentive program to program participants who qualify as a gasoline or diesel superuser, as determined by CARB. Additionally, this bill would have required CARB, on or before January 1, 2025, to develop and implement a strategy for doing all of the following: (1) Identifying the drivers who use the most gasoline or diesel and are low income or moderate income; (2) Expediting the replacement of gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicles of these drivers; (3) Identifying barriers that prevent gasoline or diesel superusers from accessing ZEV incentive programs; (4) Developing outreach protocols. Held on suspense in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
