CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 1679

Introduced by Assembly Member Burke

February 17, 2017

An act relating to vehicular air pollution.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1679, as introduced, Burke. Zero-emission vehicles: charging infrastructure.

Existing law generally designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency with the primary responsibility for the control of vehicular air pollution. The Charge Ahead California Initiative, administered by the state board, includes goals of, among other things, placing in service at least 1,000,000 zero-emission and near-zero-emission vehicles by January 1, 2023, and increasing access for disadvantaged, low-income, and moderate-income communities and consumers to zero-emission and near-zero-emission vehicles.

Existing law establishes the Air Quality Improvement Program that is administered by the state board for the purposes of funding projects related to, among other things, the reduction of criteria air pollutants and improvement of air quality. Pursuant to its existing statutory authority, the state board has established the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, as a part of the Air Quality Improvement Program, to promote the production and use of zero-emission vehicles by providing rebates for the purchase of new zero-emission vehicles.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would reduce emissions from motor vehicles through the construction of infrastructure to charge zero-emission electric motor vehicles with the goal of expanding the travel range of zero-emission electric vehicles.

SECTION 1.
