§ 2905. Annual reporting; vehicle incentive programs

• (a) The Agency shall annually evaluate the programs established under sections 2902–2904
  of this chapter to gauge effectiveness and shall submit a written report on the effectiveness
  of the programs and the State’s marketing and outreach efforts related to the programs
  to the House and Senate Committees on Transportation, the House Committee on Energy
  and Digital Infrastructure, and the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy
  on or before January 31 in each year following a year that an incentive was provided
  through one of the programs. (b) The report shall also include: (1) any intended modifications to program guidelines for the upcoming fiscal year along
  with an explanation for the reasoning behind the modifications and how the modifications
  will yield greater uptake of PEVs and other means of transportation that will reduce
  greenhouse gas emissions; (2) any recommendations on statutory modifications to the programs, including to income
  and vehicle eligibility, along with an explanation for the reasoning behind the statutory
  modification recommendations and how the modifications will yield greater uptake of
  PEVs and other means of transportation that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
  and (3) any recommendations for how to better conduct outreach and marketing to ensure the
  greatest possible uptake of incentives under the programs. (c) Notwithstanding 2 V.S.A. § 20(d), the annual report required under this section shall continue to be required if an
  incentive is provided through one of the programs unless the General Assembly takes
  specific action to repeal the report requirement. (Added 2023, No. 62, § 19, eff. July 1, 2023; amended 2023, No. 85 (Adj. Sess.), § 58, eff. July 1, 2024; 2023, No. 148 (Adj. Sess.), § 21, eff. July 1, 2024.)
