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 applies to vehicle manufacturers selling passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks in New Jersey, specifically for model years 2027 through 2031. The key provision allows manufacturers to opt into this program instead of meeting strict zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales quotas, enabling them to offer dealers a portfolio of ZEVs based on actual consumer demand rather than mandatory sales targets. This change provides manufacturers a compliance pathway while maintaining the state's emissions goals under the California Low Emission Vehicle program.
