What are the Rules for Replacement HOV stickers?

Sept. 29, 2006-California Gov passes Hybrid Carpool extension bill, Until 2011 and 10,000 more stickers
 
AB 2600 by Assemblymember Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) that increases by 10,000 the number of permits for hybrids to be allowed to use high occupancy vehicle lanes.

This bill extends the use of Califonia Carpool stickers for hybrids until 2011 and increases by 10,000 the number of sticker issued.
NOTE: The additional 10,000 stickers will NOT be issued until Jan 1, 2007 as that is when the bill becomes active.

Recent enactment of the 2005 Federal transportation bill allows California to fully implement Assembly Bill 2628. AB 2628, signed into law on September 23, 2004, allows single-occupant use of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOVs) lanes by the cleanest alternative fuel, hybrid, and full-electric vehicles. Use of these lanes with only one occupant requires an identification sticker issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Please note that not all alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles meet the requirements of
AB 2628 and only the following vehicles qualify for single occupant HOV lanes stickers. For additional information regarding qualifying vehicles please click here.
