Bad bill to force electrification of the state vehicle fleet appears in committee tomorrow

Tomorrow the Senate Tax, Business, and Transportation committee will consider SB 130, which would force 75% of the state’s vehicle fleet to be fully electric by 2030. This change would cost taxpayers not only for the vehicles but also to build out charging station infrastructure.

The meeting starts at 1:30 P.M. on Tuesday. You can watch the webcast here or request a link to give testimony by emailing scorc@nmlegis.gov before 10 A.M. Tuesday morning.

The Rio Grande Foundation submitted testimony in opposition to the SB 130.
