HB 2422 - DIGEST

     Provides that the tax imposed by chapter 82.03 RCW shall not apply to the sale of passenger vehicles that are designed to use clean fuels as defined in RCW 70.94.015.

     Provides that the money deposited in the air pollution control account from the fees charged for inspection of emissions under RCW 70.120.170 for motor vehicles that are six, seven, or eight years old shall be distributed to local air agencies and may only be expended as matching grants for the funding of infrastructure necessary for the retail sale of clean fuels.  For purposes of this act, "clean fuels" means alternatives to ordinary gasoline or diesel fuel that do not exceed the emission standards for passenger cars and light duty trucks as provided in the federal clean air act amendments of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 7583).
