  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

EFFICIENT  VEHICLE"  SHALL  MEAN  ANY  VEHICLE  THAT HAS ACHIEVED AN AIR
POLLUTION SCORE OF NINE OR BETTER AND A GREENHOUSE GAS SCORE OF NINE  OR

RONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL POST ON ITS WEB SITE A
LIST OF LOW-EMISSION AND ENERGY EFFICIENT VEHICLES  BY  MAKE  AND  MODEL
