44297.  (a) The state board, acting within its existing authority,
shall, at its first opportunity following January 1, 2005, revise the
grant criteria and guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 44287 to
incorporate projects described in subdivision (c).
   (b) The guidelines may define eligible costs to include monitoring
and verifying compliance with this article.
   (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a project
that meets either of the following criteria constitutes a heavy-duty
fleet modernization project and thus is eligible for funding under
the program, if it complies with the guidelines established by the
state board pursuant to subdivision (a):
   (1) Replaces an old engine or vehicle with a newer engine or
vehicle certified to more stringent emissions standards than the
engine or vehicle being replaced, pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (a) of Section 44281.
   (2) Provides the equivalent emission reductions as would be gained
by a project that combines both of the following:
   (A) The purchase of a new very low or zero-emission covered
vehicle pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section
44281.
   (B) The replacement of an old engine or vehicle with a newer
engine or vehicle certified to more stringent standards than the
engine or vehicle being replaced, pursuant to paragraph (2) of

state board shall consider any existing heavy-duty fleet
modernization program carried out by a district. The state board
shall design a program that, to the extent feasible, includes fleet
owners, independent truck owners, heavy-duty vehicle dealers,
districts, and other participants it determines appropriate from
existing local programs.
   (e) The grants provided pursuant to this article shall provide
moneys to offset the incremental cost of projects that reduce
emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).
   (f) The state board shall determine an appropriate weighted
cost-effectiveness standard for projects intended to reduce
particulate matter.
