Existing law establishes the Clean Cars 4 All Program, which is administered by the State Air Resources Board, to focus on achieving reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, improvements in air quality, and benefits to low-income state residents through the replacement of high-polluter motor vehicles with cleaner and more efficient motor vehicles or a mobility option. Under existing law, the distribution of incentives under the program is implemented in air pollution control and air quality management districts that choose to participate in the program and through a statewide program. Existing law requires the state board to consider certain metrics in allocating funding under the program to participating air districts and to the statewide program.
This bill would authorize a participating air district to submit a disbursement request to the state board for an amount equal to its previous 4 months of expenditures under the program if it determines that its balance of available funding for the program is less than the total amount of its expenditures under the program over the previous 4 months. If there are sufficient funds available from funds allocated to the program to cover the amount in the disbursement request while retaining a specified reserve, the bill would require the state board to issue the requested amount of funding to the air district within 60 days of the submittal of the disbursement request.
