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.
