	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 786, as introduced, Allen. Advanced technology parking
incentive programs: report.
   Existing law requires the Secretary of the Government Operations
Agency, 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. Existing law requires the Department of
General Services to prepare an annual progress report on meeting the
goals set by the schedule.
   Existing law also requires the Department of General Services and
the Department of Transportation to develop and implement advanced
technology vehicle parking incentive programs in specified parking
facilities to provide incentives for the purchase and use of
alternatively fueled vehicles in the state.
   This bill would require the progress report prepared by the
Department of General Services relative to fleet vehicles to also
include a progress report on developing and implementing the advanced
technology parking incentive programs.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
