Determines that DEP rules and regulations to implement "Advanced Clean Trucks" program are inconsistent with legislative intent.
SCR 121 is a legislative resolution declaring that New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) rules adopted in December 2021 - requiring 55% of Class 2b-3 truck sales and 75% of Class 4-8 truck sales to be zero-emission by 2035 - are inconsistent with prior state law. The resolution states these rules improperly incorporated California’s "Advanced Clean Trucks" program, which New Jersey’s 2003 law (P.L.2003, c.266) did not authorize, and notes the DEP failed to provide required notice to environmental committees before adopting them. Under the resolution, the DEP must amend or withdraw the rules within 30 days or the Legislature could further invalidate them. This action addresses procedural compliance with existing law, not the policy of zero-emission truck requirements.
