  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

  Section 1. Subdivision (a) of section 1115 of the tax law  is  amended

VEHICLE  CERTIFIED  BY  THE  ADMINISTRATOR OF THE UNITED STATES ENVIRON-
MENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY PURSUANT TO  23  U.S.C.  S  166(F)(3).  IF  THE

NOT SO CERTIFIED ANY VEHICLE AS  A  LOW-EMISSION  AND  ENERGY  EFFICIENT
VEHICLE, THEN, UNTIL SUCH CERTIFICATION OCCURS, "LOW-EMISSION AND ENERGY
EFFICIENT  VEHICLE"  SHALL  MEAN  ANY  VEHICLE  THAT HAS ACHIEVED AN AIR
POLLUTION SCORE OF NINE OR BETTER AND A GREENHOUSE GAS SCORE OF NINE  OR
BETTER  ON THE GREEN VEHICLE GUIDE MAINTAINED BY THE UNITED STATES ENVI-
RONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL POST ON ITS WEB SITE A
LIST OF LOW-EMISSION AND ENERGY EFFICIENT VEHICLES  BY  MAKE  AND  MODEL
