S 2252 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs DEP to adopt rules and regulations to implement California's current low emissions vehicle program, with certain exceptions regarding zero emmission vehicles.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to adopt rules implementing California's current low-emission vehicle program (specifically its "Advanced Clean Cars II" phase) by January 1, 2025. It directly affects vehicle manufacturers, requiring them to deliver certain percentages of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) for sale in New Jersey, but prohibits the DEP from setting ZEV requirements higher than those in effect as of November 1, 2023. The DEP may include incentives to boost ZEV adoption but cannot exceed the 2023 ZEV requirement level. This aligns New Jersey with California's emissions standards while maintaining a cap on the mandated ZEV sales percentage.
