Establishes tiered tax rates on compressed natural gas (CNG) at 5 cents per gallon equivalent until December 31, 2019, 11 cents from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024, and 17 cents thereafter.

Establishes identical tiered tax rates on liquefied natural gas (LNG) measured in diesel gallon equivalents using the same timeline as CNG.

Defines measurement standards for CNG as 5.66 pounds and for LNG as 6.06 pounds per gallon equivalent, based on National Institute of Standards and Technology handbooks.

Adds compressed natural gas meters, liquefied natural gas meters, electrical charging stations, and hydrogen fuel meters to the weighing and measuring devices subject to state inspection and fees under the division of weights and measures.
