PARAGRAPH,  A  "LOW-EMISSION  AND ENERGY EFFICIENT VEHICLE" SHALL MEAN A
VEHICLE CERTIFIED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  ENVIRON-
MENTAL  PROTECTION  AGENCY  PURSUANT  TO  23  U.S.C. S 166(F)(3). IF THE

NOT  SO  CERTIFIED  ANY  VEHICLE  AS A LOW-EMISSION AND ENERGY EFFICIENT
VEHICLE, THEN, UNTIL SUCH CERTIFICATION OCCURS, "LOW-EMISSION AND ENERGY
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
BETTER ON THE GREEN VEHICLE GUIDE MAINTAINED BY THE UNITED STATES  ENVI-
RONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL POST ON ITS WEB SITE A
LIST  OF  LOW-EMISSION  AND  ENERGY EFFICIENT VEHICLES BY MAKE AND MODEL
YEAR AND SUCH OTHER SPECIFICATIONS AS MAY BE  NECESSARY  TO  IDENTIFY  A
LOW-EMISSION AND ENERGY EFFICIENT VEHICLE, AND SHALL UPDATE SUCH LIST AS
NECESSARY  TO  PROVIDE  A COMPLETE LIST OF LOW-EMISSION AND ENERGY EFFI-
CIENT VEHICLES.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the first  day  of  the  sales  tax
quarter that begins at least ninety days after the day on which it shall
have  become  a law and shall expire and be deemed repealed December 31,
2016.
