	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 371, as introduced, Butler. State motor vehicle fleet.
   Existing law required, on or before July 1, 2009, the Secretary of
State and Consumer Services, in consultation with the Department of
General Services and other appropriate state agencies that maintain
or purchase vehicles for the state fleet, including the campuses of
the California State University, to develop and implement, and submit
to the Legislature and the Governor, a plan to improve the overall
state fleet's use of alternative fuels, synthetic lubricants, and
fuel-efficient vehicles by reducing or displacing the consumption of
petroleum products by the state fleet when compared to the 2003
consumption level based on a specified schedule.
   This bill would additionally require the Department of General
Services to ensure that all alternative fuel vehicles available for
sale in California are listed on the Statewide Commodity Contracts
(SCC) list and to enter into public-private partnerships with
alternative fuel providers to develop infrastructure to meet the
needs of state government and local agency fleets.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
