Summary
Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (commission) and the State Air Resources Board (board) , in consultation with other state and local agencies the commission deems necessary, to develop and adopt recommendations for the Governor and Legislature on a California Strategy to Reduce Petroleum Dependence. Existing law also requires the commission, in partnership with the board, to develop and adopt a state plan to increase the use of alternative transportation fuels. This bill would require the commission and the board to, among other things, adopt policies and regulations to attain the fuel consumption targets set forth in state plan to increase the use of alternative transportation fuels, coordinate the attainment of the targets with provisions regulating alternative fuels, and assess how future guidelines, regulations, and investments affect the attainment of the fuel consumption targets. The bill would require the commission and the board, on or before January 1, 2013, in consultation with other state and local agencies the commission and the board deem necessary, to update a specified economic analysis, develop a strategy for petroleum fuel use reduction and alternative fuel use in specified vehicles, and identify regulatory and statutory barriers to attaining the petroleum fuel consumption targets. The bill would require the commission and the board, commencing January 1, 2014, and triennially thereafter until January 1, 2024, to report to the Legislature on progress in reaching the fuel consumption targets.
