Justification
Governor's Recommendations 2022-23

The Governor's Budget Recommendation for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 includes recurring funding in Contracted Services in the
Division of Air Resources Management (Division). This request is for the federal portion of the FY 2022-23 Diesel
Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant. The DERA option gives the Division additional flexibility to identify eligible
diesel emissions mitigation projects. The Division will be able to request VW Mitigation Trust funds as the state match
for funds made available through DERA.
