AB 2816: State Air Resources Board: zero-emission incentive programs: requirements.
- Session Year: 2021-2022
- House: Assembly
- Latest Version Date: 2022-04-27
Existing law generally designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency with the primary responsibility for the control of vehicular air pollution. Existing law establishes various incentive programs that are administered or funded by the State Air Resources Board to provide financial assistance for the purchase of vehicles by individuals, including, among others, the Clean Cars 4 All Program.
This bill would require the state board, with respect to zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) incentive programs administered or funded by the state board, to ensure that beginning January 1, 2024, incentives awarded under those programs are awarded based on the average annual gallons of gasoline or diesel that the applicants vehicle consumed. The bill would require the state board to develop a tool to determine the annual average gallons of gasoline or diesel consumed by a particular vehicle and would require the state board to make the tool publicly available on its internet website for use by potential applicants of a ZEV incentive program. To maximize equity benefits, the bill would require the state board to ensure that additional per gallon incentive payments are provided to an applicant of a ZEV incentive program if the applicant is low or moderate income. The bill would require the state board to submit a report to the Legislature on or before January 1, 2024, and every 2 years thereafter, regarding the ZEV incentive programs.
This bill would require specified information to be provided by an applicant of these programs under penalty of perjury. By expanding the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law establishes the Geologic Energy Management Division in the Department of Conservation, under the direction of the State Oil and Gas Supervisor, who is required to supervise the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of oil and gas wells, as provided. Existing law requires the division, in consultation with the State Air Resources Board, to determine and adopt by regulation what constitutes a reportable leak from a gas storage well, as defined, and the timeframe for reporting that leak. Existing law requires the division, in consultation with the State Air Resources Board, to review and, if necessary, revise the regulations developed pursuant to that requirement no less than once every 10 years.This bill would instead require the division to review and revise those regulations no less than once every 5 years.Existing law establishes the Geologic Energy Management Division in the Department of Conservation, under the direction of the State Oil and Gas Supervisor, who is required to supervise the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of oil and gas wells, as provided.

The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(a)The transportation sector is the biggest source of carbon emissions in California, with 39 percent of total emissions coming from transportation and 28 percent of total emissions coming from light-duty vehicles.
(b)The harms of vehicle emissions impact communities of color and low-income communities disproportionately.
(c)Zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) have the potential to replace vehicles powered by gasoline or diesel and thereby reduce vehicle emissions at speed and scale.
(d)ZEVs only curb vehicle emissions to the extent they displace gasoline or diesel that would have been burned in a vehicle powered by one of those fuels.
(e)Calculations of vehicle emissions reductions resulting from ZEV incentives are based on assumptions and modeling that fail to take into account the fact that the actual gasoline or diesel displacement impact of ZEVs varies widely based on how much gasoline or diesel was being consumed by the vehicle being switched for a ZEV.
(f)ZEV incentives to date have been used disproportionately by high-income drivers who use gasoline or diesel at rates below the mean.
(g)Low- and middle-income moderate-income households in the top tier of gasoline or diesel consumption in California are likely to have the longest commutes in the least efficient internal combustion engine vehicles, which forces them to spend a large percentage of their household income on fuel.
(h)The demand for ZEVs and ZEV incentives exceeds supply, and therefore it is critical to ensure that every ZEV maximizes gasoline and diesel displacement.
(i)Allocating ZEV incentives to maximize gasoline and diesel displacement would benefit lower income drivers and rural communities.
(j)Tying the amount of ZEV incentives to the amount of past gasoline or diesel consumption, meaning the average annual gallons of gasoline or diesel and income levels is a relatively simple way to maximize the gasoline or diesel reduction and equity impacts of ZEV incentives.
SEC. 2.Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 43880) is added to Part 5 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:4.5.Zero-Emission Vehicle Incentive Program Requirements43880.For purposes of this chapter, zero-emission the following definitions apply:
(a)Low income means a person whose income is less than or equal to 225 percent of the federal poverty level.
(b)Moderate income means a person whose income is greater than 225 percent, but less than or equal to 300 percent, of the federal poverty level.

43883.(a)(1)The state board shall ensure that beginning January 1, 2024, incentives awarded under a ZEV incentive program subject to this chapter are awarded based on the average annual gallons of gasoline or diesel that the applicants vehicle consumed, as determined using the tool developed pursuant to Section 43882. The state board shall set the amount of the incentive at a level that maximizes the displacement of gasoline or diesel and the reduction of emissions criteria pollutants per dollar spent. The state board shall require a consumer to provide the vehicle identification number and an odometer reading under penalty of perjury to verify the accuracy of the amount of the incentive.
(2)To maximize the equity benefits of an incentive provided under a ZEV incentive program subject to this chapter, the state board shall ensure that additional per gallon incentive payments are provided to an applicant of a ZEV incentive program if the applicant is low or moderate income.
(b)The state board may require that the applicant sell or otherwise surrender the internal combustion engine vehicle on which the incentive payment is based.
(c)(1)Notwithstanding any other law, the maximum amount of an incentive provided under a ZEV incentive program subject to this chapter shall be established by the state board pursuant to this chapter.
(2)An incentive provided under a ZEV incentive program shall not exceed ____ dollars per gallon of gasoline or diesel consumed.
(d)On or before January 1, 2024, the state board shall develop and implement a strategy for doing both of the following:
