An Act relative to a clean fuel standard

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to create a clean fuel standard within one year of its effective date. The standard is designed to lower the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by considering their full lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. It directly impacts the state's regulatory framework for fuel quality and affects fuel suppliers and consumers by establishing new environmental benchmarks. The legislation requires the department to issue specific regulations to implement these goals rather than setting immediate fuel mandates itself.
