Florida House Bill 7135 passed that state’s Senate May 1 by a 39-1 vote. The original bill, which passed the Florida House of Representatives on April 29, was authored by the House Environmental and Natural Resources Council Committee and contains language aimed at implementing policies related to energy and global climate change.

State Rep. Paige Kreegel offered an amendment to the proposed bill April 29. The California Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) Amendment requires legislative review before the implementation of California standards. The amendment was adopted and included in the final bill that passed the Florida legislature. Florida H.B. 7135 will now move to Gov. Charlie Crist (R) for consideration.

The Automotive Service Association (ASA) says it believes this amendment will greatly enhance a reasonable approach to the Florida clean car effort, ensuring legislative review of any super warranty initiatives.

Arizona previously rejected the vehicle super warranty in its proposed regulations for the California standard.
