AI Summary

This bill establishes tracking and reporting requirements for Massachusetts transportation fuels and their associated greenhouse gas emissions. It requires producers, importers, and wholesale distributors of transportation fuels in Massachusetts to report their fuel sales and sources to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP is then responsible for computing and tracking the individual and collective lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and carbon intensity of these reported fuels on an annual basis. The bill also mandates the DEP to publish this data in an annual public report. The regulations required by the bill must be promulgated within 180 days of the bill's passage and take effect within 180 days of promulgation.
