Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is against state Rep. Edgar Gonzalez, Jr.’s bill, which seeks to adopt the vehicle emissions standards of California.
Pritzker said now is not the right time to adopt California’s emission standards, but the goal is to achieve zero emissions for Illinois vehicles.
Gonzalez isn’t the only representative who has a bill that seeks to adopt California’s vehicle emission standards. Josh Witkowski, the state legislative coordinator and lobbyist for motorcycle lobby ABATE of Illinois, said there are three bills.
State Sen. Mike Simmons also has a bill where it not only adopts California’s vehicle emission standards but also implements California’s Advanced Clean Cars program regulations, which require manufacturers to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles year-over-year.
