California Air Resources Board

In response to Assembly Bill (AB) 794 (Carrillo, Chapter 748, Statutes of 2021), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) established the Incentives Enforcement Section. The Incentives Enforcement Section verifies that fleet purchasers receiving CARB funding for drayage and short-haul trucks meet the terms of their incentive agreements, including but not limited to applicable labor standards.

AB 794 requires fleet purchasers of new drayage and short-haul trucks participating in applicable programs to sign agreements that condition the incentive on compliance with Chapter 3.6 Labor Standards. Fleets must submit an attestation and demonstrate that they do not have any applicable law violations at the time of incentive application. In addition to submitting an attestation at the time of applying for the incentive, attestations must be renewed annually for the term of the agreement.

Additionally, AB 2737 (Carrillo, Chapter 213, Statutes of 2022) provides exclusions on the applicability of AB 794. AB 2737 excludes rental and leasing entities that purchase drayage and short-haul trucks from AB 794 fleet purchaser requirements. However, for lease agreements greater than one year, the rental or leasing entity is required to notify lessees of vehicles purchased with incentive funding that they must comply with AB 794 fleet purchaser requirements.
