The bill aims to repeal the Clean Transportation Fuel Standard Program in New Mexico by prohibiting the adoption or continuation of any rules related to a clean transportation fuel standard. It includes a new provision stating that the board shall not adopt or continue any rules providing for such a standard. Additionally, the bill repeals Section 74-1-18 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 1978, which was part of the 2024 legislation concerning the clean transportation fuel standard.

In the amendments to the Environmental Improvement Act, several definitions are updated or added, including the removal of the definition for "carbon intensity" and "transportation fuel." New definitions are introduced for terms such as "department," "on-site liquid waste system," and "residential on-site liquid waste system." The duties of the department and the board are also clarified, with the removal of any responsibilities related to the carbon intensity of transportation fuels, thereby aligning with the bill's intent to eliminate the clean transportation fuel standard.
