Sacramento –Governor Newsom has signed AB 784, exempting zero-emission transit buses from the state portion of the sales tax until January 1, 2024, in order to advance the deployment of Zero-Emission Buses (ZEBs) in California.

“California is one of the only states that charge public transit agencies sales tax,” Assemblymember Mullin pointed out. “In spite of that fact, many California transit agencies including SamTrans have begun to deploy ZEBs in an effort to reduce dangerous pollutants and emissions from the air. However, since ZEBs are considerably more expensive than their diesel-fueled alternatives, this temporary tax break will help these cash-strapped agencies make this transition more easily.”

Sacramento –AB 1168, by Assembly Speaker pro Tem Kevin Mullin has been signed by Governor Newsom. The bill requires emergency dispatch/call centers statewide to implement text to 9-1-1 and real-time text services by 2021.

“As someone who is hard of hearing, I am very aware of the positive impact this legislation will have on the members of the deaf and hard of hearing community," Mullin stated. “This technology will also benefit those who find themselves in a situation where it may be too dangerous to dial 9-1-1 and speak to a dispatcher.”
