Bill > HB2738

This bill prohibits the use of leaded fuel at race tracks located in cities with a population of 500,000 or more, effective January 1, 2026. The legislation defines leaded fuel as any fuel containing more than 0.05 grams of lead per gallon and applies specifically to racing vehicles used in sanctioned racing events. The bill makes it unlawful for individuals to use leaded fuel in racing vehicles on the premises of qualifying race tracks, and it also prohibits race track owners and operators from permitting such use. The Environmental Quality Commission and Department of Environmental Quality are authorized to prepare for implementing the law before its operative date. The bill will take effect 91 days after the adjournment of the 2025 regular legislative session, providing time for race tracks and racing organizations in affected cities (likely Portland, Oregon) to adapt to the new restrictions on leaded fuel usage.
