The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency charged with monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases. Existing law establishes various programs to promote the development and adoption of zero-emission vehicles and alternative fuels. Existing law creates the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, known as "GO-Biz," and requires GO-Biz to serve the Governor as the lead entity for economic strategy and the marketing of California on issues relating to business development, private sector investment, and economic growth. Under existing law, GO-Biz is under the direct control of the Director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, who is responsible to the Governor. This bill would continue the zero-emission vehicle division of GO-Biz in existence within GO-Biz as the Zero-Emission Vehicle Market Development Office (office) . The bill would require the office to continue to be administered by a deputy director appointed by, and serving at the pleasure of, the Governor. The bill would also establish, until January 1, 2028, the Zero-Emission Vehicle Equity Advocate in the office who would also be appointed by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Governor. The bill would require the office to steer the development of a shared, cross-agency definition of equity, and to set an equity agenda for the deployment of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles, the supporting infrastructure, and workforce development. The bill would require the office to develop and adopt an equity action plan as part of a periodic update to a specified zero-emission vehicle strategy developed by the office and to notify the relevant policy committees of the Legislature of the information provided in that update.
