What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the Department of Natural Resources from requiring that a

person sell reformulated gasoline if certain conditions are met.

Under the federal Clean Air Act and under current state law, reformulated

gasoline is the only type of gasoline that may be sold in areas designated by the

federal Environmental Protection Agency as not meeting certain federal air quality

standards and in certain other areas designated by the governor or by DNR.

Reformulated gasoline is gasoline that is specially formulated to reduce emissions

of volatile organic compounds and toxic air pollutants.

Under the bill, DNR must request a waiver of the relevant provisions of the

federal Clean Air Act relating to reformulated gasoline from the federal

Environmental Protection Agency, and, if it receives such a waiver, may not prohibit

a person from selling nonreformulated gasoline in the designated areas.
