268	268	253the greenhouse gas emissions goals set by the executive office of energy and environmental
269	269	254affairs, the division may establish requirements for vehicle electrification without establishing
270	270	255separate requirements for greenhouse gas emissions. The division shall, to the extent practicable,
271	271	256minimize any negative impacts of the program on drivers from neighborhoods and municipalities
