Establishes low-carbon transportation fuel standard program in DEP.

The bill establishes a low-carbon transportation fuel standard program in the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The program mandates a reduction in the carbon intensity of transportation fuels, including gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuels. It sets a schedule to reduce the average carbon intensity of diesel and gasoline by five percent below 2019 levels by 2030, with biennial reviews starting in 2027. The bill also establishes an anonymous reporting system for whistleblowers to report violations, with potential financial rewards for those providing substantial evidence.
