2SHB 1409, titled AN ACT Relating to the clean fuels program, has been passed by the Senate. The Office of Financial Management has identified this bill as requiring a ten-year projection of increased cost to the taxpayers or affected fee payers.

Ten-year projection:

Fiscal Year		Clean Fuels Program Fee
2026		$631,908
2027		$483,178
2028		$280,535
2029		$160,493
2030		$160,493
2031		$160,493
2032		$160,493
2033		$160,493
2034		$160,493
2035		$160,493
Total:		$2,519,072

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.
