Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to fuels; to amend section 66-1226, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to adopt updated standards relating to automotive spark-ignition engine fuel; and to repeal the original section.
AI Summary
This bill updates Nebraska's legal standards for automotive spark-ignition engine fuel by adopting the newest version of the ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) specification standard D4814-24b, replacing the older D4814-89 version. The bill modifies existing law to update references, including changing terminology from "spark ignition" to "spark-ignition" and updating organizational names. It maintains the requirement that all automotive spark-ignition engine fuel (defined as gasoline and its blends with oxygenates like alcohol and ethers) sold in Nebraska must meet the specified ASTM International standard. The bill retains the previous enforcement mechanism, which stipulates that violations are a Class I misdemeanor for the first offense and a Class IV felony for subsequent offenses. The Department of Agriculture is still required to file copies of the publication with the Secretary of State and Clerk of the Legislature, ensuring the updated standard is officially documented and accessible.
