SCR 82 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

SCR 82 is a legislative resolution declaring that New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) rules implementing the "Advanced Clean Trucks" program are inconsistent with prior legislative intent. The DEP adopted these rules in December 2021, requiring truck manufacturers to sell specific percentages of zero-emission trucks (e.g., 55% for Class 2b-3 vehicles) by 2035, but the resolution states this program was never authorized by the legislature. The resolution cites that previous law (P.L.2003, c.266) only permitted DEP to implement the *second phase* of California's low-emission vehicle program, not the "Advanced Clean Trucks" program, and that the DEP failed to provide required notice to environmental committees about the change. The resolution gives the DEP 30 days to amend or withdraw the rules, or the legislature could later invalidate them via another resolution.
