The section of this act that is purposed for to be removed is below, as well a link to the full text. This text should remain in the act, because it keeps government agencies from buying false-alternative fuels.
The purpose of the act is meant to improve environmental stewardship. Theoretically, this proposed repeal would make it possible to burn old tires for heat and call it an "alternative fuel".
This is a clear attempt to remove the meat from standing environmental law. Oppose it.

SEC. 526. <<NOTE: 42 USC 17142.>> PROCUREMENT AND ACQUISITION OF
ALTERNATIVE FUELS.
No Federal agency shall enter into a contract for procurement of an
alternative or synthetic fuel, including a fuel produced from
nonconventional petroleum sources, for any mobility-related use, other
than for research or testing, unless the contract specifies that the
lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and
combustion of the fuel supplied under the contract must, on an ongoing
basis, be less than or equal to such emissions from the equivalent
conventional fuel produced from conventional petroleum sources.
