SB 626
And here? (Kehoe)

Then there is this "feebate" bill that taxes guzzlers and credits sippers.

AB 1212
And here (Ruskin)

This bill would authorize the state board to adopt and implement a
clean vehicle incentive, or feebate, program consisting of one-time
rebates and one-time surcharges on the sale of new passenger motor
vehicles. The bill would require the state board to establish the
program only if the state board determines that it would be
beneficial to achieving the greenhouse gas emission goals of the
California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.

The two powerful committees collectively passed slightly more than half of the 634 bills on their agendas, but survivors tended to seek relatively meager amounts from the state's general fund, which bankrolls most basic state services.

By comparison, in the past decade, the Assembly Appropriations Committee has approved an average of $644 million each year in legislation affecting the general fund. Thursday's total was $5.9 million, officials said.

"My primary concern right now is the devastating cuts to existing programs, so my focus is not on new programs," said Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles.

Legislation passed Thursday by legislative appropriations committees included measures to impose tighter spay and neuter restrictions on pet owners, add motorcycles built since 2000 to the state's smog-check program, and require maternity coverage in health insurance.
Shelved were proposals to grant college tuition and fee waivers to California National Guard members, expand a presumption that cancers acquired by peace officers and firefighters are work-related, provide a sales tax exemption for the purchase of electric vehicles, and require health-care policies to insure dependents until age 27...."
