Louisiana State Agencies Required to Purchase Alt-Fuel Vehicles
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed into law ACT 833, which requires state agencies to purchase alternative-fuel vehicles. Requirements may be waived for circumstances where vehicles are operating more than 25 miles from an appropriate type of refueling facility.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed into law ACT 833, an Ortego House Bill (HB 1213), which requires state agencies to purchase alternative-fuel vehicles. As outlined in the final version signed by the Governor, the state shall not purchase any vehicle unless it is “capable of and equipped for using bi-fuels, natural gas, or liquefied petroleum gas.” Bi-fuel vehicles are defined as gasoline or diesel plus LPG or CNG.
State agencies may waive the requirements only under the following circumstances:
The vehicles will be operating in an area that is not within a 25-mile radius of the appropriate type of refueling facility.
A state agency is not able to recoup the difference in the cost between the alternative-fuel vehicle and a traditionally fueled vehicle within 60 months of the purchase or lease.
The vehicle does not meet the agency’s required specifications.
