BILL NUMBER: S2838

SPONSOR: PARKER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the energy law, in relation to the purchase of fuel
economy, electric and hybrid passenger vehicles by the office of general
services

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation direct the Office of General Services to purchase elec-
tric vehicles for use in the state fleet of passenger vehicles.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - Amends Section 5-108 of the energy law to require the
commissioner to purchase battery, electric, plug-in hybrid, or zero
emissions vehicles by January 1, 2023. Additionally, requires the
commissioner to set targets for the acquisition of battery, electric,
plug-in and zero emissions vehicles. By 2031, all passenger vehicles in

the state shall be zero emissions vehicles.

Section 2 - Effective Immediately.

 
EXISTING LAW:

Under the current law, passenger vehicles purchased by the state must
meet certain miles per gallon standards.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The transportation sector accounts for about 30% of the greenhouse gas
emissions in the nation. This proposal seeks to leverage the state's
purchasing power to increase the number of low emission and zero emis-
sion vehicles, therefore reducing the state's transportation sector
emissions. Additionally, the purchase of these vehicles will spur the
construction of the necessary infrastructure to power these vehicles
benefitting both the state and citizens seeking to purchase electric
vehicles but hesitant to do so because of range anxiety.

 fiscal year.
   (4) The term "average fuel economy standard" means the  average  miles
 per  gallon  to  be  achieved  in the operation of passenger automobiles
 manufactured in a particular model year and shall be as follows:
 
 Model year                                         Fuel economy standard

 ALL PASSENGER VEHICLES PURCHASED BY OR FOR THE STATE OR  ANY  AGENCY  OR
 PUBLIC AUTHORITY THEREOF SHALL BE ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLES.
   (5)  THE  TERM "BATTERY, ELECTRIC, OR PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE"
 MEANS A MOTOR VEHICLE, AS DEFINED IN SECTION ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE  OF
 THE VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW, THAT: HAS FOUR WHEELS; WAS MANUFACTURED FOR
 USE  PRIMARILY  ON PUBLIC STREETS, ROADS AND HIGHWAYS; THE POWERTRAIN OF
 WHICH HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED FROM THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S  SPECIFICA-

 FIVE  MILES PER HOUR; AND IS PROPELLED AT LEAST IN PART BY AN ELECTRONIC
