One of the two pieces of legislation dealing with HOV access for clear air vehicles (SB 535) would remove the HOV lane access for the older Crown Victoria's that were ULEV, not SULEV as of 1/1/11. SB 535 would also remove hybrids on the same date, but create a new category for plug-in hybrids, which would be allowed in HOV lanes.
The other bill, AB 1500, would remove the hybrids, not allow the plug-in hybrids, and continue to allow the ULEV Crown Vics.
Presumably only one of these bills will ultimately be passed, and their provisions reconciled i some way. However, if you drive an old Crown Vic, this could affect you.
