In a short 30-day legislative session we came within a single vote of establishing a Clean Fuel Standard in the second-largest oil and gas state in the country, at a time of serious headwinds with the false but oft-repeated gas price concern.
Yesterday, the New Mexico State Senate passed SB-14, known as The Clean Fuel Standard Act. This was done during a special session known as a “short session” where lawmakers are meeting for only for 30 days to consider legislation.
