	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 359, as amended, Corbett.  Electric vehicles. 
 Vehicles: retirement and replacement.  
   Existing 
    (1)     Existing  law establishes the
Air Quality Improvement Program that is administered by the State Air
Resources Board for the purposes of funding projects related to,
among other things, reduction of criteria air pollutants and
improvement of air quality. Existing law requires, until January 1,
2016, that a portion of the registration fees for motor vehicles and
vessels be deposited into the Air Quality Improvement Fund and, upon
appropriation, be expended for the implementation of the program.
Pursuant to the Air Quality Improvement Program, the state board has
established the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project to promote the
production and use of zero-emission vehicles and the Hybrid and
Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project to provide
vouchers to help California fleets to purchase hybrid and
zero-emission trucks and buses.
   Existing law establishes the Vehicle Inspection and Repair Fund,
which serves as a repository for fees collected by the Department of
Consumer Affairs pursuant to the Automotive Repair Act.
   This bill would require the  Controller, upon the order of
the Director of Finance,   Controller  to
transfer, as a loan, $30,000,000 from the Vehicle Inspection and
Repair Fund to the Air Quality Improvement Fund. The bill would
appropriate to the state board  $30,000,000 from 
 these moneys in  the Air Quality Improvement Fund  to
be expended only  for the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project and the
Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project,
thereby making an appropriation. 
   (2) Existing law establishes the Capital Access Loan Program for
small businesses, administered by the California Pollution Control
Financing Authority, by providing loans through participating
financial institutions to qualifying small businesses, including
financial assistance to businesses affected by the In-Use Bus and
Truck Rule through the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program.
 
   This bill would require the Controller to transfer, as a loan,
$10,000,000, from the Vehicle Inspection and Repair Fund to the Air
Pollution Control Fund. The bill would appropriate to the state board
these moneys in the Air Pollution Control Fund to be expended only
for the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Air Quality Loan Program, thereby making
an appropriation.  
   (3) Existing law creates the Enhanced Fleet Modernization
Subaccount in the High Polluter Removal and Repair Account and makes
available, upon appropriation, all money in the account to establish
and implement the enhanced fleet modernization program, administered
by the Bureau of Automotive Repair in the Department of Consumer
Affairs.  
   This bill would appropriate $8,000,000 to the Bureau of Automotive
Repair from the Enhanced Fleet Modernization Subaccount in the High
Polluter Repair or Removal Account to be expended only for the
purposes of the enhanced fleet modernization program, thereby making
an appropriation. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
