State Vehicle Fleet - - CA Public Resources

Section § 25722

This law requires California to create rules for buying state vehicles and tires that are fuel-efficient, aiming to cut down on gasoline use as much as possible while staying cost-effective. By January 31, 2003, the relevant agencies must develop these specifications. The agencies will study current purchasing habits and assess how to achieve at least a 10% energy consumption reduction by 2005.

The study will explore several aspects: using alternative fuels, picking fuel-efficient cars, shrinking the state car fleet, reducing trips in favor of other transport options, maintaining vehicles better, comparing different tire types, and evaluating the costs of different vehicle types.

Additionally, by the same January date, the state should set pollution standards for cars and light trucks that meet its Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle standards. If cheaper methods can achieve similar petroleum reductions to federal rules, the state may seek a waiver from those federal conditions.

(a) On or before January 31, 2003, the commission, the Department of General Services, and the State Air Resources Board, in consultation with any other state agency that the commission, the department, and the state board deem necessary, shall develop and adopt fuel-efficiency specifications governing the purchase by the state of motor vehicles and replacement tires that, on an annual basis, will reduce petroleum consumption of the state vehicle fleet to the maximum extent practicable and cost-effective.

(b) In developing the specifications, the commission and the department shall jointly conduct a study to examine state vehicle purchasing patterns, including the purchase of after market tires, and to analyze the costs and benefits of reducing the energy consumption of the state vehicle fleet by no less than 10 percent on or before January 1, 2005.

(c) The study shall include an analysis of all of the following topics:

(1) Use of alternative fuels.

(2) Use of fuel-efficient vehicles.

(3) Costs and benefits of decreasing the size of the state vehicle fleet.

(4) Reduction in vehicle trips and increase in use of alternative means of transportation.

(5) Improved vehicle maintenance.

(6) Costs and benefits of using fuel-efficient tires relative to using retreaded tires, as described in the Retreaded Tire Program (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 42400) of Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code).

(7) The costs and benefits of purchasing high fuel efficiency gasoline vehicles, including hybrid electric vehicles, instead of flexible fuel vehicles.

(d) On or before January 31, 2003, and annually thereafter, the commission, the Department of General Services, and the State Air Resources Board, in consultation with any other state agency that the commission, the department, and the state board deem necessary, shall develop and adopt air pollution emission specifications governing the purchase by the state of passenger cars and light-duty trucks that meet or exceed California’s Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards for exhaust emissions (13 Cal. Code Regs. 1960.1).

(e) If the study described in subdivision (b) determines that lower cost measures exist that deliver petroleum reductions equivalent to applicable federal requirements governing the state purchase of passenger cars and light-duty trucks, the state shall pursue a waiver from those federal requirements.

Section § 25722.11

Starting December 31, 2025, 15% of large vehicles that weigh 19,000 pounds or more, and are purchased for use by California state entities, must be zero-emission. By December 31, 2030, this requirement increases to 30%. These rules don't apply to vehicles needed for public safety with special performance needs, as defined by the Department of General Services.

If by the end of 2026, meeting these requirements is not feasible, the Department of General Services must hold a public hearing to explain the issues and inform the Legislature. Then, they'll work with the State Air Resources Board to assess zero-emission technology for these vehicles and devise a plan to resolve any obstacles, which they’ll try for at least a year.

If after a year it's still unworkable, they'll report back at another public hearing and notify the Legislature. This section becomes inactive once it notifies the Legislature it's unable to comply with the requirements, and it will be formally repealed the next January 1st.

(a) Beginning December 31, 2025, at least 15 percent of newly purchased vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,000 pounds or more purchased by the Department of General Services and other state entities for the state fleet shall be zero emission. Beginning December 31, 2030, at least 30 percent of newly purchased vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,000 pounds or more purchased by the Department of General Services and other state entities for the state fleet shall be zero emission.

(b) This section does not apply to vehicles that have special performance requirements necessary for the protection of public safety, as defined by the Department of General Services.

(c) If, on or after December 31, 2026, the Department of General Services, in a public hearing, finds that it cannot meet the needs of the state while meeting the requirements of this section, the department shall disclose that finding at the hearing and shall notify the Legislature of the finding in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code.

(d) Upon disclosure of a finding pursuant to subdivision (c), the Department of General Services shall take the following steps:

(1) While meeting the requirements of this section to the maximum extent practicable, the department, in consultation with the State Air Resources Board, shall conduct a technological assessment of zero-emission vehicle technology for vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,000 pounds or more. The technological assessment shall include a plan to address the issues preventing the department and other state entities from meeting the requirements of this section.

(2) The department shall implement the plan developed pursuant to paragraph (1) for a period of at least one year.

(3) If, after the one-year period specified in paragraph (2), the department, in a public hearing, finds that it still cannot meet the needs of the state while meeting the requirements of this section, the department shall disclose that finding at the hearing and shall notify the Legislature of the finding in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code.

(e) This section is inoperative on the date on which the Department of General Services notifies the Legislature pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (d) and is repealed on January 1 of the following year.

Section § 25722.6

The Department of General Services in California is tasked with maximizing the use of alternative fuel vehicles like electric and hydrogen-powered cars in the state fleet by 2023. They must evaluate vehicles based on cost and environmental benefits. The same criteria apply when considering combustion engine vehicles, focusing on emissions and ownership costs.

The department must update procedures to classify vehicles according to their job requirements and evaluate internal combustion vehicles under established criteria. They ensure fleet vehicles meet federal requirements and evaluate potential new fleet additions annually. Alternative fuel vehicles should use those fuels whenever possible, and information should be shared with fueling stations to support alternative fuel needs.

Facilities that serve state vehicles should consider alternative fuel options for infrastructure. Emergency vehicles are exempt from these rules, and state offices must justify purchasing SUVs by demonstrating necessity, with preference for alternative fuel versions. The law does not apply to the University of California unless the Regents decide otherwise.

(a)

(1) On or before January 1, 2023, the Department of General Services shall maximize the purchase and availability of alternative fuel vehicles, such as battery electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, in the state fleet by adopting a procurement method to evaluate those vehicles.
