AB 236


The Department of General Services (DGS) Office of Fleet and Asset Management (OFAM) has created a Petroleum Reduction Advisory Committee to develop a plan outlined in AB 236 (Chapter 593, Statutes of 2007, Assembly Member Lieu). Participation on the committee is open to state agencies that maintain or purchase vehicles for the state fleet.

DGS staff will take the lead on collecting input from the committee members, assembling a draft Petroleum Reduction Plan based on the committee's input, and submitting the draft plan to the Secretary of the State and Consumer Services Agency for review and final approval.

The Petroleum Reduction Plan may be viewed here.
