 EFFORTS TO INCREASE CAFE STANDARDS (§ 33.2-120)

A. As used in this section, unless the context requires a different meaning,
&#8220;CAFE standards&#8221; means the corporate average fuel economy standards
for passenger cars and light trucks manufactured for sale in the United States
that have been implemented pursuant to the federal Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975 (P.L. 94-163), as amended.

B. It is the policy of the Commonwealth to support federal action that provides
for:

   1. An increase in the CAFE standards from the current standard by promoting
   performance-based tax credits for advanced technology, fuel-efficient vehicles
   to facilitate the introduction and purchase of such vehicles; and

   2. Market incentives and education programs to build demand for
   high-efficiency, cleaner vehicles, including tax incentives for highly
   efficient vehicles.
