Bill would outlaw diesel trucks from state by 2050
Members of the trucking community say that they aren't sure how they would comply with the law if it passes.
A California lawmaker recently introduced legislation that would eliminate almost all diesel trucks from operating in the state by 2050.
The bill, known as SB 44 or the “Ditching Dirty Diesel” bill, was introduced recently by State Senator Nancy Skinner. A news release from Skinner’s office says that the bill would “phase out, over time, the use of polluting, diesel-fueled medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses in California and … speed up the transition to cleaner vehicle technologies and fuels, including zero emission vehicles (ZEVs).”
Skinner says that she believes that diesel emissions are harming the health of California residents — particularly those who live near truck routes.
