Summary

Department of General Services; state purchase of clean alternative fuel or hybrid passenger-type vehicles.  Provides that vehicles purchased for the centralized fleet shall be clean alternative fuel or hybrid passenger-type vehicles and that the purchase shall follow annual percentage rate targets resulting in a target of 100% of purchases being clean alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles by 2012, provided such vehicles are available commercially and have a total life-cycle cost that is comparable to similar conventional fuel passenger-type vehicles. The bill defines life-cycle cost and requires the Director of General Services to ensure that a life-cycle cost analysis is done before awarding a purchase contract.
