ACR 87 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

ACR 87 is a New Jersey legislative resolution declaring that the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) adoption of California's "Advanced Clean Cars II" (ACC II) program rules - published in the December 18, 2023, New Jersey Register - is inconsistent with state law. The resolution states that New Jersey's 2003 law (P.L.2003, c.266) only authorized the DEP to implement California's earlier "LEV II" program, not the newer ACC II rules, and that the DEP failed to provide required notice to environmental committees before adopting them. The resolution gives the DEP 30 days to amend or withdraw the rules, or allows the legislature to pass another resolution to invalidate them. It directly affects the DEP's rulemaking authority and the implementation of vehicle emissions standards in New Jersey.
