· Every person who is required to register a diesel powered motor vehicle in the state with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 8500 pounds GVW and every person who is subject to the apportioned fees pursuant to title 28 is subject to a ten dollar diesel air quality fee. (Apportioned vehicles pay the fee based on the percentage apportionment.) The fee would be removed if and when the EPA granted a fuel waiver pursuant to section 211 of the federal Clean Air Act. Money collected from the fee would be deposited in the voluntary vehicle repair and retrofit program (V2R2).

· A diesel vehicle that fails the centralized emissions test is eligible for the diesel portion of the V2R2 program (up to $1000 match).

The Environment Committee strike-everything amendment was adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
