On October 1, 2013, at the request of the Mayor, DC Council Chairman, Phil Mendelson, introduced bill no. B20-0513 (the Alternate Fuel Vehicle Conversion Act of 2013), which proposes to ban new diesel vehicles of any kind from being registered in DC starting Jan. 1, 2018. In addition to banning diesel vehicles, the legislation would offer tax credits to persons and businesses who convert vehicles to operate on alternative fuels such as E85, natural gas, CNG, LNG, LPG, B100, electricity and hydrogen.
