ADOPTED 03/06/2014
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 The legislature finds that investments in
diesel engine idling reduction projects cost-effectively improve public
health by reducing harmful diesel emissions. The legislature further
finds that these investments also result in long-term savings in fuel
and maintenance costs. It is therefore the intent of the legislature
to establish a stable, wholly self-sustaining account for the
department of ecology to use for investments in diesel idle reduction
projects.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2 The definitions in this section apply
throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
(1) "Account" means the diesel idle reduction account created in
section 4 of this act.
(2) "Department" means the department of ecology.
(3) "Loan recipient" means a state, local, or other governmental
entity that owns diesel vehicles or equipment.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3 (1) The department shall use the moneys in
the account to provide loans with low or no interest to loan recipients
for the purpose of reducing exposure to diesel emissions and improving
public health by investing in diesel idle emission reduction
technologies and infrastructure. The department shall, to the extent
practical, integrate communications, outreach, and other aspects of the
administration of loans from the account with the administration of
existing grant programs to reduce diesel emissions from vehicles and
equipment. In selecting loan recipients, the department shall consider
anticipated human health, environmental, and greenhouse gas benefits
from reduced exposure to harmful air emissions associated with diesel
idling.
(2) The department shall make loans in such a manner that the
remittances from loan recipients are of equal value over a long-term
planning horizon to the disbursals from the fund.
(3) Loan moneys may not be spent on vehicles or equipment that
spend less than one-half of their operating time in Washington.
Permissible diesel idle reduction expenditures include, but are not
limited to:
(a) Electrified parking spaces and truck stops;
(b) Shore connection systems and alternative maritime power;
(c) Shore connection systems for locomotives;
(d) Auxiliary power units and generator sets;
(e) Fuel-operated heaters or direct-fired heaters, including engine
fluid preheaters and cab air heaters;
(f) Battery powered systems, including battery powered heating and
air conditioning systems;
(g) Thermal storage systems;
(h) Automatic engine start-up and shutdown systems;
(i) Projects to augment or replace diesel engines or power systems
with engines or power systems that use liquefied or compressed natural
gas; and
(j) Other operation or maintenance efficiencies that achieve
emission reduction benefits for the public.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 4 The diesel idle reduction account is created
in the state treasury. All receipts from remittances made by loan
recipients pursuant to section 3 of this act and any moneys
appropriated to the account by law must be deposited in the account.
Moneys in the account may be spent only after appropriation.
Expenditures from the account may be used only for the purposes of this
chapter, including the costs of program administration.
