This bill creates the Hybrid Vehicle Acquisition Study Committee for the purpose of studying the feasibility of replacing the existing state motor vehicle fleet over time with hybrid vehicles.  The committee consists of fourteen members:  four members appointed by the President of the Senate, four members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the directors of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the departments of Natural Resources, Administrative Services, and Transportation, one member representing a statewide environmental advocacy organization, and one member representing the automobile industry.  The bill states that the committee appointments shall be made not later than fourteen days after the effective date of the act, and the committee shall issue a report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives not later than six months after the effective date of the bill.  The bill does not, however, specify who will pay the administrative costs associated with this committee.
