What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows gas pumps to dispense through the same fueling nozzle and hose
gasoline-ethanol fuel blends containing greater than 10 percent and not more than
15 percent ethanol (E15), gasoline containing no ethanol, and gasoline-ethanol fuel
blends containing not more than 10 percent ethanol if, among other things, there is
at least one other gas pump at the retail station that has a fueling nozzle and hose
that dispense only gasoline-ethanol fuel blends containing no more than 10 percent
ethanol, or if the gas pump requires a minimum purchase of 4 gallons.
Under current law, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer
Protection has the authority to promulgate rules to administer and enforce
minimum product grade specifications for motor fuels. Using this authority, DATCP
has promulgated a rule requiring gas pumps installed after February 1, 2009 to
dispense ethanol-blended motor fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol and
ethanol-blended motor fuels containing less than 10 percent ethanol through
separate fueling nozzles and hoses.
