A bill from State Senator Pete Harckham and State Assemblyman Steve Englebright requiring all in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks to be zero-emission by 2035 has been approved by the State Legislature.
“Thanks to the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, New York envisions a not-too-distant future where electric vehicles dominate our roads,” Chair of the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee Sen. Todd Kaminsky stated. “The challenge of transforming our transportation sector is imperative to combating climate change and this bill is exactly the bold, aggressive and necessary action required to help us meet those goals, reduce our carbon footprint and ultimately save our planet.”
