Department of Ecology:

The cash receipts impact under this bill is estimated to be greater than $50,000 each year in FY 2026 and ongoing. Chapter 173-455-150 directs Ecology to calculate a fee for the Clean Fuels Program registrants that is equal to the costs to run the Clean Fuels Program.

Ecology would reflect the costs to implement this bill in each annual workload analysis and subsequent fee assessment to fund total costs to administer the Clean Fuels Program. Ecology assumes there could be indeterminate cash receipt impacts if ongoing rulemaking is necessary in FY 2030 and ongoing. Please see expenditure narrative for more information.

Ecology estimates the following revenue to be collected into the Clean Fuels Program Account:

FY 2026: $631,908

FY 2027: $483,178

FY 2028: $280,535

FY 2029: $160,493

FY 2030: $160,493

FY 2031: $160,493

FY 2032: $160,493

FY 2033: $160,493

FY 2034: $160,493

FY 2035: $160,493

FY 2036: $160,493

Section 2 would authorize Ecology to assess penalties for violations of Chapter 173-424 and penalty revenue would be deposited into the Carbon Emissions Reduction Account. Penalty revenue is assumed to be limited, but unknown, and therefore is not estimated in this fiscal note.

Ten-year projection prepared in consultation with the following agencies:
