It just made it through committee, it still has to be voted on the House and Senate...it's a great start but still a long way to go. -- Shawn M.

Shawn, What is left to do for this bill to become Florida law? Does it just need the signature of the Governor? Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shawn Waggoner - FLEAA Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 11:46 PM To: 'FLEAA Mailing List' Subject: [FLEAA] Tax break for Florida electric car buyers advances in House I wanted to pass along the update on HB 879 - the EV Incentive Bill: http://blogs.tampabay.com/energy/electric_car/ March 11, 2009 Tax break for Florida electric car buyers advances in House A bill in the Florida legislature would remove state sales tax on electric cars and give businesses who use them a tax credit, AP reports. HB 879, sponsored by Rep. Adam Hasner, was approved unanimously by the House Energy & Utilities Policy Committee on Tuesday. There's a companion bill sponsored by Sen. Thad Altman, R-Melbourne. As this blog has previously reported, the bill has the strong backing of the Florida Electric Auto Association. "This is a way for Florida to take the lead in advancing the electric car movement and getting more cars on the road that use zero gas and have zero emissions," says Hasner, R-Delray Beach. - David Adams -- Shawn M.
