SCR 86 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Determines that DEP rules and regulations to implement "Advanced Clean Cars II" program are inconsistent with legislative intent.

SCR 86 is a legislative resolution declaring that New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) rules adopted in December 2023 - which would implement California’s "Advanced Clean Cars II" (ACC II) program - are inconsistent with the state’s 2003 law. The resolution states that the 2003 law only authorized the DEP to adopt rules for California’s older LEV II program, not the newer ACC II program, and that the DEP failed to provide required legislative notice before adopting the rules. The resolution gives the DEP 30 days to amend or withdraw the rules, or the Legislature could later pass another resolution to invalidate them. This affects the DEP’s authority to enforce ACC II requirements on automakers and directly impacts vehicle manufacturers selling in New Jersey.
