43024.2.  (a) (1) No later than January 1, 2021, and at least every five years thereafter, the state board, in consultation with the Department of Transportation, the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development and in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, shall update the state board’s 2016 mobile source strategy to include a comprehensive strategy for the deployment of medium duty and heavy-duty vehicles in the state for the purpose of bringing the state into compliance with federal ambient air quality standards and reducing motor vehicle greenhouse gas emissions from the medium duty and heavy-duty vehicle sector. The state board shall recommend reasonable and achievable goals for reducing emissions from medium duty and heavy-duty vehicles by 2030 and 2050, respectively, as part of the comprehensive strategy based on factors that include, but are not limited to, the state’s overarching emissions reduction goal established in Section 38566, the goals established in the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan completed in response to Executive Order No. B-32-15, technological feasibility, and cost-effectiveness.(2) The state board’s updates to the mobile source strategy shall include both of the following:(A) An identification of policies that provide advantages to fleets that reduce greenhouse gas emissions earlier than required by law.(B) The coordination of plans for the attainment of federal ambient air quality standards with relevant greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals.(b) In developing the comprehensive strategy, the state board shall do all of the following:(1) Seek to maximize the reduction of criteria air pollutants.(2) Identify regulation that could improve market acceptance, spur technology advancements, reduce technology costs, and support the commercialization and deployment of medium duty and heavy-duty vehicles that reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.(3) Identify research needs to address any data gaps.(4) Identify areas where the state should coordinate with other state agencies, districts, utilities providers, and technology providers to implement measures identified as part of the comprehensive strategy.(5) Identify benefits to low-income communities and communities disproportionally impacted by diesel pollution.(6) Identify policies that provide advantages to fleets that reduce greenhouse gas emissions early.(c) The state board, through a public process, may establish a process to identify medium duty and heavy-duty vehicle segments that can more quickly reduce motor vehicle emissions, consistent with the state board’s three-year heavy-duty vehicle investment strategy required pursuant to the California Clean Truck, Bus, and Off-Road Vehicle and Equipment Technology Program, established pursuant to Section 39719.2, with a beachhead market analysis.(d) The state board shall submit the updated mobile source strategy to the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature.(Added by Stats. 2019, Ch. 297, Sec. 2.
