Bill > HB185

This bill, the "Environmental Standards for Appliances and Fixtures Act," establishes energy and water efficiency standards for a wide range of products sold or installed in New Mexico, including air purifiers, commercial appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and water coolers. The bill gives the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department the authority to adopt new or updated standards to promote conservation, while prohibiting the sale of certain compact fluorescent and linear fluorescent lamps after 2023 and 2024, respectively, with some exceptions. The bill also outlines testing, certification, and enforcement procedures, and allows utilities to continue offering rebates and incentives for products prohibited under the new standards for up to one year after the standards take effect on January 1, 2024.
