This bill amends the Environmental Improvement Act in New Mexico by repealing provisions related to the Clean Transportation Fuel Standard Program. It specifically prohibits the adoption or continuation of any rules that would establish a clean transportation fuel standard. Additionally, the bill repeals Section 74-1-18 NMSA 1978, which was part of the 2024 legislation concerning this program.
The bill also makes several amendments to existing definitions and duties within the Environmental Improvement Act. Notably, it removes the definition of "carbon intensity" and the related duties concerning the carbon intensity of transportation fuels from the responsibilities of the department and the board. New definitions are added, including "department" and "on-site liquid waste system," while clarifying the roles of the department and board in environmental management without the inclusion of clean transportation fuel standards.
