Bill > HB430

This bill expressly preempts local governments (counties, municipalities, special districts) in New Mexico from prohibiting the siting, development, or redevelopment of fuel retailers or related transportation infrastructure (e.g., storage tanks, pipelines) necessary for fuel delivery. It also prohibits local governments from requiring fuel retailers to install or invest in specific fueling infrastructure, such as electric vehicle charging stations. However, the bill allows local governments to adopt reasonable regulations related to the siting, development, or redevelopment of fuel retailers and related infrastructure, as long as they do not result in a de facto prohibition of these facilities. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2023.
