  House Bill 76 (HB 76) prohibits the adoption of certain rules relating to the production and delivery for sale of zero-emission vehicles 
 

 House Bill 76 (HB 76) creates a new section of the Air Quality Control Act (Section 74-2-1 et seq NMSA 1978) that prohibits the adoption of certain rules relating to the production and delivery for sale of zero-emission vehicles



 

 On July 3, 2023, Governor Lujan Grisham announced that the state would move to adopt Advanced Clean Cars and Advanced Clean Trucks rules to further advance New Mexico's goals of ensuring New Mexicans have access to zero-emission vehicles, like electric cars, qualified plug-in vehicles, and hydrogen trucks.
Under these rules, in 2026, car manufacturers will have to make sure 43% of the cars and light trucks they deliver to New Mexico are zero-emissions vehicles. That percentage will increase each year until 2032, when 82% of the vehicles they deliver to New Mexico will be zero-emissions.
