SB1769, Government Zero-Emission Vehicle Act

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning on January 1, 2030 all passenger vehicles, except for law enforcement vehicles, purchased or leased by a governmental unit must be either a manufactured zero-emission vehicle or a converted zero-emission vehicle.

The proponents request that the Illinois Pollution Control Board adopt three California motor vehicle emissions regulations addressing light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles: the Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II), Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT), and Heavy-Duty Low NOx Omnibus (Low NOx [Nitrogen Oxide]) regulations.

The Board finds that the proposal meets the requirements of the Board’s procedural rules and accepts the proposal for hearing. The Board directs its assigned hearing officer to schedule and proceed to hearing under the rulemaking provisions of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/27, 28 (2022)) and the Board’s procedural rules (35 Ill. Adm. Code 102).
