This bill accelerates the sunset of the diesel truck idling reduction grant program under which DOA makes grants to cover a portion of a grant recipient's cost to purchase and field test devices that reduce the long-duration idling of diesel trucks. Currently, the payment of grants sunsets on June 30, 2020, and the entire program sunsets on December 31, 2021. Under the bill, those sunset dates are June 30, 2017, and June 30, 2018, respectively.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
