What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
