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.
