Trucking bills dead after missing deadline in California

A number of trucking-related bills that carried over from last year in California are now dead.

The bills, which range from bonds for transportation infrastructure to a new fuel tax, fell to the state’s Joint Rule 56, which, according to a spokeswoman at the General Assembly, means they did not meet the deadline for passing their house of origin and are now dead.

Here are some of the bills that didn’t make the cut and are no longer being considered:

  • SB585. The bill would have sold bonds to finance freight-related transportation projects, including truck-only lanes on highways;
  • SB675, which restricted how far trucks carrying aggregate materials could travel from roadway access;
  • SB981. That bill would have added a new tax to each barrel of oil, effectively adding to the cost of every gallon of gas, diesel fuel, jet fuel or any other fuel derived from crude oil; and
  • AB1500, the Assembly version of SB981.
