BILL NUMBER: S2963 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to affixing the designation "qualified hybrid vehicle" and the estimated miles per gallon of such vehicle as calculated by the United States environmental protection agency onto all car registration forms PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : To allow owners of hybrid vehicles the chance to take full advantage of all the benefits that the state offers for purchasing and driving a fuel efficient vehicle. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section 125-b. This new section defines a Qualified hybrid vehicle as a vehicle which draws propulsion energy from both an internal combustion engine (or heat engine that uses combustive fuel) and an energy storage device, and employs a regenerative vehicle braking system that recovers waste energy to charge such energy storage device. The applicant must furnish proof at registration that the vehicle is certified to the California Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle Standard and achieves the U.S. EPA highway fuel economy rating of forty-five miles per gallon or more. The make, model, and the year of the motor vehicle will always be considered proof of compliance.
