Requires DEP to adopt rules and regulations establishing alternative provisions by which vehicle manufacturers may comply with Low Emission Vehicle program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create an "Interim Alternative ZEV Compliance Program" within one year of enactment. It directly affects vehicle manufacturers by allowing them to comply with the state's Low Emission Vehicle program for model years 2027-2031 through an alternative method. Instead of meeting strict zero-emission vehicle sales quotas, manufacturers may offer dealers a portfolio of required zero-emission vehicles based on actual consumer demand, without mandating specific purchases. This alternative pathway provides manufacturers with a defense against penalties for noncompliance with the standard sales requirements.
