    Reference:
    » HB 1979 (2021 Special Session I)
  • Description: The Electric Vehicle Rebate Program Advisory Council is established to monitor the implementation and operation of the Electric Vehicle Rebate Program and to make recommendations to the Department of Energy regarding suggested changes to the Program, including regular assessment to determine the effect of the rebate on increasing electric vehicle sales, whether allocations for the payment of rebates or enhanced rebates should be adjusted, and whether an income cap should be established to determine the eligibility of purchasers for a rebate. The Advisory Council shall consider the goal of increasing electric vehicle awareness and adoption in developing and making its recommendations. The Advisory Council shall annually evaluate and recommend an increase or decrease in the amount of the rebates to reflect the rate of inflation, as defined by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the relative price of electric motor vehicles compared with the price of traditional motor vehicles.
