Bill	Vehicles: high-occupancy toll lanes.	Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to designate certain lanes for the exclusive use of high-occupancy vehicles (HOV) , which lanes may also be used, until January 1, 2015, by certain eligible low-emission and hybrid vehicles not carrying the requisite number of passengers otherwise required for the use of HOV lanes if the vehicle displays a valid identifier issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Existing law provides that a vehicle, eligible under these provisions to use HOV lanes, that meets the California's enhanced advanced technology partial zero-emission vehicle (enhanced AT PZEV) standard is not exempt from toll charges imposed on single-occupant vehicles in lanes designated for tolls pursuant to a federally supported value-pricing and transit development program involving high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes conducted by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	AB 2405	California AB 2405 (20112012)	bill	Vehicles: high-occupancy toll lanes.	enacted	Blumenfield	8	24	5	2012-02-24	2012-09-27	openstates	ocd-bill/57c0be7c-1fe1-42d6-a960-b243cdb90b0b	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB2405	27f3bd700c1e01f0a6d23fee0288d2b4d408d1226416844357c6c5403accda5a	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
