Full summary

This resolution expresses City Council support for AB 2635, authored by State Assemblymember Rodriguez, which proposes a zero-emission voucher program for small off-road equipment. Small off-road equipment—including lawn and garden tools, portable generators, and construction equipment—contributes significantly to urban air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The bill would create financial incentives for equipment owners to transition to zero-emission alternatives or retrofit existing equipment. Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez moved the resolution, with support from Councilmember Imelda Padilla. By adopting this measure, the City Council formally adds AB 2635 to its 2025-2026 state legislative program, signaling official support for the proposal to state lawmakers and coordinating with regional environmental and air quality initiatives. The resolution was referred to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee on September 11, 2026, where it awaits committee review and scheduling for a full Council vote.
