Grants for green businesses in California

The general rule for incentives is that BEFORE a regulation becomes MANDATORY, the government agency will often provide an incentive for voluntary compliance. But after the law becomes mandatory, those incentives cease. This is to reward early adopters and provide word of mouth experience to help jump start the business or social changes being sought.

For example, air quality regulations with AB32 offered significant business grants and incentives to upgrade trucks and filter systems before the law became mandatory. And continuing niche regulations provide very specific incentives. But when each segment of the AB32 scoping plan becomes mandatory, these incentives cease.
