ACR 174 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Determines that DEP rules and regulations to implement "Advanced Clean Cars II" program are inconsistent with legislative intent.

ACR 174 declares that New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) rules implementing California's "Advanced Clean Cars II" (ACC II) program are inconsistent with the Legislature's 2003 intent. The resolution cites that the 2003 law (P.L.2003, c.266) only authorized DEP to adopt rules for California's LEV II program, not the newer ACC II program, and that DEP failed to provide required notice to environmental committees before adopting the rules. Under the resolution, the DEP has 30 days to amend or withdraw the ACC II rules, or the Legislature could pass another resolution to invalidate them. This action focuses on procedural compliance with existing law, not the environmental policy itself. The bill directly affects DEP's regulatory authority and car manufacturers subject to the emissions rules.
