Frequently asked questions

What does AB 2145 do?

Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board, in consultation with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, to adopt a program, known as the enhanced fleet modernization program, that allows for the voluntary retirement of passenger vehicles and light-duty and medium-duty trucks that are high polluters. The Charge Ahead California Initiative, administered by the state board, includes goals of, among other things, placing in service at least 1,000,000 zero-emission and near-zero-emission vehicles by January 1, 2023, and increasing access for disadvantaged, low-income, and moderate-income communities and consumers to zero-emission and near-zero-emission vehicles. Existing law, for the purposes of calculating the vehicle license fee, requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to determine the market value of the vehicle on the basis of the cost price to the purchaser, not including California sales or use tax or any local sales, transactions, use, or other local tax, as specified. This bill, for the purpose of calculating the vehicle license fee, would authorize the amount of compensation provided to a low-income motor vehicle owner under the enhanced fleet modernization program to be deducted from the motor vehicle's price, as specified. The bill would require the state board to develop a standardized certificate for issuance to recipients of compensation that states the amount of compensation received, and would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to adjust the motor vehicle's price accordingly, upon submission of that certificate to the department by the vehicle owner. This bill would also, for the purpose of calculating the vehicle license fee, authorize the amount of a vehicle replacement rebate provided to a low- or moderate-income purchaser under the Charge Ahead California Initiative to be deducted from the motor vehicle's price, as specified. The bill would require the state board to develop a standardized certificate for issuance to low- or moderate-income rebate recipients that states the amount of the rebate received, and would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to adjust the motor vehicle's price accordingly, upon submission of that certificate to the department by the vehicle owner.
