BILL NUMBER: S9910
SPONSOR: GRIFFO
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to regu-
lations on the percentage of zero-emission vehicles in manufacturers'
sales fleets
 
PURPOSE:
To delay implementation of New York State's adopted ACT regulation
impacting medium and heavy-duty vehicles.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
1. Section 1 amends Section 19-0306-b of the environmental conservation
law to add subdivision 6 to prevent the establishment or enfo rcement of
regulations or laws relating to the percentage of zero-emission vehicles
in manufacturers' sales fleets of medium and heav y-duty vehicles until
New York State infrastructure can meet such demand.
2. Section 2 sets the effective date as immediately.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
As we move towards a clean energy future, concerns have been raised that
New York State is implementing parts of the CLCPA and its cl imate goals
haphazardly. A case in point, implementation of the State's adopted ACT
regulation will have major impacts on numerous in dustries, including
trucking companies, municipal highway departments, and others. Given the
importance of these industries to our st ate, we must pause implementa-
tion of the ACT regulation until we have more information on its full
impact.
