On page 14, after line 16, insert the following:
"(5) The department must determine if the credits issued under this program before December 31, 2028, satisfy the requirement to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuel by 10 percent below 2017 levels. The department must make this determination by March 31, 2029. If the department determines that the carbon intensity of transportation fuels has not been reduced by at least 50 percent of the 2028 target, the department must issue a press release and notify the governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature, and the program created by this chapter is deemed scheduled for sunset review and termination pursuant to chapter 43.131 RCW."
On page 31, after line 7, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 24. A new section is added to chapter 43.131 RCW to read as follows:
If the clean fuels program fails to meet carbon intensity reduction targets determined consistent with section 10 of this act, the authorization for the department of ecology to implement a clean fuels program created in this act must be reviewed and terminated on January 1, 2031, as provided in section 25 of this act.
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 25. A new section is added to chapter 43.131 RCW to read as follows:

EFFECT: Requires the Department of Ecology to determine by March 31, 2029, if Clean Fuels Program credits issued prior to 2029 were sufficient to satisfy the requirement to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuel by 10 percent below 2017 levels. If the department determines that the carbon intensity of transportation fuels has not been reduced by at least fifty percent of the 2028 target, the Department must issue a press release, notify the governor and appropriate committees of the Legislature, and the Clean Fuels Program becomes scheduled for sunset review and termination.
