(a) The state board shall, at its first opportunity, revise the grant criteria and guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 44287 to incorporate projects in which an applicant turns in nonroad internal combustion technology and equipment that the applicant owns and that still has some useful life, coupled with the purchase of new nonroad zero-emission technology and equipment that is in a similar category or that can perform the same work.
(b) When it evaluates the benefits of a project described in subdivision (a), the state board shall count both of the following emission reduction streams, provided that they are real, enforceable, quantifiable, and surplus emission reductions:
(1) The displacement of the emissions from the older nonroad internal combustion technology and equipment for its remaining life with the new nonroad zero-emission technology and equipment.
(2) After the time period specified in paragraph (1), the displacement of emissions from new nonroad internal combustion technology and equipment meeting the emission standards in place at time of purchase, with the new nonroad zero-emission technology and equipment over its remaining life.
(c) A project described in subdivision (a) shall meet the cost-effectiveness criteria in Section 44283 and all other criteria of the program, including the requirement that the emission reductions be real, enforceable, quantifiable, and surplus.
(d) The incremental cost of a project described in subdivision (a) may include, at the discretion of the applicant, some or all of the reasonable salvage value of the nonroad internal combustion technology and equipment turned in, as determined by the state board. However, an applicant that elects to include these costs shall be required to meet the cost-effectiveness criteria in Section 44283.

44287.2. (a) By July 1, 2017, the state board shall revise project grant criteria and guidelines pursuant to Section 44287 to allow funds from federal, state, and local programs or other public funding sources to be used for a project also funded under this chapter without those additional public funds being factored into the criteria emission reduction cost-effectiveness calculations, if the projects are eligible under those programs and meet all criteria associated with those funding sources. Those other projects include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
(1) Federal funding from programs designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
(2) State and local funding from programs designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, created pursuant to Section 16428.8 of the Government Code, and the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (Article 2 (commencing with Section 44272) of Chapter 8.9).
(3) Funding from programs designed to support energy diversity.
(4) Funding from programs that are intended to provide covered emissions reductions but do not require those reductions to be able to be credited to the state implementation plan.
(b) Nothing in this section authorizes the expenditure of funds for a project that does not meet all of the requirements of this chapter, including requirements that require cost sharing or the matching of funds. The sum of the total grants shall not exceed the project cost. The covered emissions reductions paid for pursuant to this chapter shall not be claimed by the other funding sources.
(c) Subdivision (a) shall not apply to funds used pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 41081 or subdivision (b) of Section 44229.
