Introduced by Rep. Alma Smith (D) on June 4, 2009, to require that half the light trucks and all the cars the state purchases after 2009 be “alternative energy” vehicles. There would be a preference that the trucks not be E-85 ethanol burners.
- Referred to the House Energy and Technology Committee on June 4, 2009.
