SD 2429 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act studying the advantages and disadvantages of transitioning certain government fleets to clean energy

SD 2429 requires the Department of Energy Resources to study the potential benefits and challenges of transitioning government vehicle fleets - used by municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities - to clean energy. The study must analyze costs, funding options (including state/federal support), vehicle suitability, and recommend possible exemptions for certain vehicles. It will be published online within 18 months and updated every three years, with copies sent to relevant legislative committees. This bill focuses on gathering data to inform future decisions, without mandating any immediate changes to fleet operations.
