This bill requires each fleet of a manufacturer of passenger automobiles (including light-duty motor vehicles) to comprise at least:
- 30% qualified vehicles in model year 2018, and
- 50% qualified vehicles in model year 2019 and each subsequent year.
A "qualified vehicle" is:

- a flexible fuel vehicle capable of operating on gasoline, E85, and M85;

- a vehicle propelled solely by fuel cell or by something other than an internal combustion engine.
The bill authorizes a manufacturer to request an exemption from such requirement from the Department of Transportation.
