The proposed bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section, 49-559, to title 49, chapter 3, article 5 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. This new section mandates the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to conduct a biennial review of available and potentially available fuel formulations in accordance with federal air quality standards. The review will specifically assess the impacts of switching to fuel formulations that are not currently authorized for use in designated areas A and C, and will require the ADEQ to document the anticipated air quality impacts of these formulations in those areas.

Additionally, the bill requires the ADEQ to submit a report with its findings and recommendations by December 31 of each review year to various stakeholders, including the associate director of the weights and measures services division, the governor, and legislative leaders, while also providing a copy to the secretary of state. The bill clarifies the definitions of "Area A" and "Area C" by referencing existing statutes that define these areas.
