AN ACT CONCERNING THE ZERO-EMISSION AFTERMARKET CONVERSION PROJECT.

HB 5386 establishes Connecticut's Zero-Emission Aftermarket Conversion Project and a related Clean Vehicle Rebate Program. It provides Connecticut residents with a one-time rebate of up to $2,000 for converting eligible existing vehicles into zero-emission vehicles. The state must create specific eligibility rules and guidelines for the program, which applies only to converted vehicles (not new electric vehicles). This policy directly affects Connecticut vehicle owners seeking to retrofit their current cars or trucks to run on zero emissions.
