SB 5492 - DIGEST

(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

     Finds it is important to begin addressing the negative impacts of continued gasoline and diesel fuel use.  Addressing motor vehicle emissions is further needed because of the expected increases in population and vehicle miles traveled, which threaten to erode air quality gains made over the last decade.

     Declares that, in order to make net progress in improving air quality, reducing the threat of climate change, and protecting public health and the environment, the legislature finds it is necessary to encourage the use of clean alternative fuel vehicles.

     Repeals RCW 43.19.637 and 82.38.075.
