Section 17912.

The demonstration program established by this chapter shall be designed and administered by the commission, with the advice and consultation of the department and the superintendent. The commission shall insure that fuel economy and exhaust emissions are monitored as a part of the demonstration, and shall ensure that at least 35 percent of the vehicles are powered by methanol or other low-emission, clean-burning fuels, unless the commission determines, within 18 months of the effective date of this act, that the use of these funds for clean burning fuel projects is infeasible. The commission shall, within 30 days of making that determination, submit a report to the Legislature explaining its determination with respect to the feasibility or infeasibility of the project. The field demonstration shall be in accordance with State Energy Conservation Program guidelines.
