regarding their proposed amendments to the Truck and Bus Regulation. Agenda
items included overview of the current rule, the new proposed amendments, and a
chance for stakeholders to voice their concerns.
The

troubles with the diesel particulate filters and proposed several changes to
the current regulation.

compliance extension, extending compliance dates for Ag categories, and
