BILL NUMBER: S2758

SPONSOR: HARCKHAM
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
providing that one hundred percent of in-state sales of new passenger
cars and trucks shall be zero-emissions by two thousand thirty-five

 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
providing that one hundred percent of in-state sales of new passenger
cars and trucks shall be zero-emissions by two thousand thirty-five

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To decrease greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from the trans-
portation sector.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This bill would:

  *amend the Environmental Conservation Law by adding a new § 19-0306-b
and establishing a State zero-emissions goal for cars and trucks to be
accomplished as follows:
    - 100% of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks would be
zero-emissions by 2035;
    - 100% of medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles would be zero-emis-
sions by 2045; and
    - 100% of off-road vehicles and equipment would be zero-emissions by
 2035 where feasible;
  *direct the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), in consul-
tation with other agencies, to:
    - develop a zero-emissions vehicle market development strategy by
January 1, 2023, and,
    - identify near-term actions and investment strategies to improve
sustainable transportation and freight and transit options.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The aggressive greenhouse gas emission reduction goals established in
the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act
(CLCPA) require aggressive action. Estimates indicate that personal
transportation accounts for roughly 20% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Establishing zero-emission goals and a strategy to eliminate these emis-
sions will be an important step in achieving the CLCPA goals.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2020: A.11087 - Referred to Environmental Conservation Committee.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
