REPEAL CLEAN FUEL STANDARDS

HB 328, introduced by Representatives Pettigrew and Murphy, would repeal New Mexico’s Clean Transportation Fuel Standard Program. The bill removes legal requirements for the Environmental Improvement Department to enforce rules on carbon intensity for transportation fuels and prohibits future adoption of such standards. This directly affects fuel producers and distributors who previously had to comply with clean fuel regulations, and it eliminates the department’s authority to manage carbon intensity metrics under environmental law. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on repealing existing requirements without creating new obligations. It was postponed indefinitely by the legislature in June 2025.
