		<ns0:DigestText>
			<html:p>Existing law establishes the Clean Cars 4 All Program, which is administered by the State Air Resources Board, to focus on achieving reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, improvements in air quality, and benefits to low-income state residents through the replacement of high-polluter motor vehicles with cleaner and more efficient motor vehicles or a mobility option. Existing law requires the implementing regulations to ensure that the program complies with certain requirements.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would require the implementing regulations for the Clean Cars 4 All Program to additionally ensure that, among other things, incentives provided under the program are available in all areas of the state and that, in those areas where a local air district has not elected to
		participate in the program to manage the distribution of incentives within its jurisdiction, the state board manages the distribution of incentives to eligible residents of those areas, as specified. The bill would make certain conforming changes in that regard. The bill would require, as one of the program goals for replacement of passenger vehicles and trucks, the state board to prioritize vehicle retirement in areas of the state that meet specified criteria. The bill would also require the state board to update the guidelines for the program no later than July 1, 2027, as specified.</html:p>
			<html:p>Existing law requires the state board to annually post on its internet website a performance analysis of the replacement and mobility options component of the Clean Cars 4 All Program that includes an evaluation of the funding for targeted outreach in low-income or disadvantaged communities, as specified.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would require that analysis
		to additionally include an evaluation of the funding for targeted outreach in low-income or disadvantaged communities with the highest number of vehicles manufactured before 2004 or that are at least 20 years old, as specified.</html:p>
			<html:p>Existing law requires the state board to consider certain metrics in allocating funding under the program to local air districts participating in the program, and to the statewide program, including the number of vouchers deployed and the population in eligible program ZIP Codes.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would require the state board, in allocating funding to local air districts participating in the program and to the portion of the program managed by the state board, to consider additional metrics, including the total value of vouchers deployed and a specified metric for retired vehicles, and would delete the requirement to consider the population in eligible ZIP Codes.</html:p>
			<html:p>The bill would also require the state board, in coordination with local air districts and specified organizations, to establish a means-based strategy to identify potential recipients of incentives under the Clean Cars 4 All Program that meet certain criteria and, as part of that strategy, require an increased incentive to be provided under the program to those individuals.</html:p>

		<ns0:Preamble>The people of the State of California do enact as follows:</ns0:Preamble>
		<ns0:BillSection id="id_016B1E5A-8A18-4857-86E2-7BAC6ABD997F">
			<ns0:Num>SECTION 1.</ns0:Num>
			<ns0:Content>
				<html:p>
					(a)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(1)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Two-thirds of the most polluted counties in the nation, by year-round particulate pollution, are in California.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(2)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					In California, the transportation sector accounts for 50 percent of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 80 percent of the nitrogen oxides pollution. Air pollution from on-road transportation, particularly from older vehicles, is inequitably distributed across California,
		  exposing Black and Latino communities to disproportionately higher levels of particulate matter that can cause lung disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(3)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Although pre-2004 vehicles make up only 19 percent of the vehicles on California roads, they are responsible for 73 percent of all nitrogen oxides exhaust from passenger vehicles and 64 percent of reactive organic gases.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(4)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					To rapidly transition into cleaner transportation, in 2019 the Legislature created a program, which previously only existed in the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District. The Clean Cars 4 All Program was established to provide incentives to vehicle owners to voluntarily retire gross polluting vehicles and achieve emissions reductions in nonattainment areas.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(5)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					In
		  addition to providing incentives, California is implementing a Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Market Development Strategy to ensure 100 percent of in-state new passenger car and truck sales will be zero-emission by 2035.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(6)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					A core component of the ZEV Market Development Strategy is ensuring equity in every decision so that communities suffering most from a combination of economic, health, and environmental burdens are actively prioritized and directly benefit from public investment through increased zero-emission mobility options and cleaner air.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(b)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					It is the intent of the Legislature that the transition into zero-emission transportation occur in an equitable manner to be achieved by offering the most vulnerable populations access to clean transportation incentives and ensuring that those incentives are continuously available to communities most burdened with air pollutants so
		  limited public investments have the greatest impact.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(c)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					It is further the intent of the Legislature to reduce vehicle emissions in the fastest, most efficient, and equitable manner.
				</html:p>

								<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
								The incentives provided under the Clean Cars 4 All Program are available in all areas of the state. In those areas where a district has not elected to participate in the Clean Cars 4 All Program to manage the distribution of incentives within its jurisdiction, the state board shall manage the distribution of incentives under the Clean Cars 4 All Program to eligible residents of those areas in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Cars 4 All Program. The state board shall not manage the distribution of incentives in the jurisdiction of a district if the district has elected to participate in the program to distribute incentives within its jurisdiction.

Last Version Text Digest Existing law establishes the Clean Cars 4 All Program, which is administered by the State Air Resources Board, to focus on achieving reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, improvements in air quality, and benefits to low-income state residents through the replacement of high-polluter motor vehicles with cleaner and more efficient motor vehicles or a mobility option. Existing law requires the implementing regulations to ensure that the program complies with certain requirements. This bill would require the implementing regulations for the Clean Cars 4 All Program to additionally ensure that, among other things, incentives provided under the program are available in all areas of the state and that, in those areas where a local air district has not elected to participate in the program to manage the distribution of incentives within its jurisdiction, the state board manages the distribution of incentives to eligible residents of those areas, as specified. The bill would make certain conforming changes in that regard. The bill would require, as one of the program goals for replacement of passenger vehicles and trucks, the state board to prioritize vehicle retirement in areas of the state that meet specified criteria. The bill would also require the state board to update the guidelines for the program no later than July 1, 2027, as specified. Existing law requires the state board to annually post on its internet website a performance analysis of the replacement and mobility options component of the Clean Cars 4 All Program that includes an evaluation of the funding for targeted outreach in low-income or disadvantaged communities, as specified. This bill would require that analysis to additionally include an evaluation of the funding for targeted outreach in low-income or disadvantaged communities with the highest number of vehicles manufactured before 2004 or that are at least 20 years old, as specified. Existing law requires the state board to consider certain metrics in allocating funding under the program to local air districts participating in the program, and to the statewide program, including the number of vouchers deployed and the population in eligible program ZIP Codes. This bill would require the state board, in allocating funding to local air districts participating in the program and to the portion of the program managed by the state board, to consider additional metrics, including the total value of vouchers deployed and a specified metric for retired vehicles, and would delete the requirement to consider the population in eligible ZIP Codes. The bill would also require the state board, in coordination with local air districts and specified organizations, to establish a means-based strategy to identify potential recipients of incentives under the Clean Cars 4 All Program that meet certain criteria and, as part of that strategy, require an increased incentive to be provided under the program to those individuals.
