SB 185 is the Governor's "Alternative-Fuel Motor Vehicle tax credit" bill. It eliminates the existing tax credits for biofuels, electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, and even "coal-derived liquid fuels". Tax credits for "Alternative-fuel" vehicles would be limited to natural gas and liquified petroleum gas.
This is an aggressive attack on renewables in the transportation sector and would help to lock in fossil fuels.
The same bill in the House is House Bill 2506. It has been assigned to the Roads and Transportation Committee, Margaret Staggers is Chair.

Read it and weep, here is the governor's bill to "fix" the alternatively fueled infrastructure and vehicle Tax Credit. Not exactly what we were hoping instead we got a shot over the bow so to speak. John
