A 495 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State to purchase certain vehicles when purchasing new vehicles.

This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to purchase electric, hybrid electric, or alternative-fuel vehicles (such as those using biodiesel, compressed natural gas, or fuel cells) when buying new vehicles, unless no such commercially available vehicle exists in the specific class being purchased. It directly affects all state departments and agencies that acquire new vehicles for operations. The law excludes trains from this requirement and defines "electric vehicle" as one powered solely by electricity and "hybrid electric vehicle" as one using both an internal combustion engine and electric power. The policy takes effect immediately upon enactment.
