Bill > HB2750

This bill amends Arizona state law to expand the types of vehicles that can use dyed diesel fuel on highways. Currently, the law allows dyed diesel fuel to be used on highways by school buses and qualified local buses that meet specific federal tax exemption criteria. The bill adds fire trucks, fire engines, and other fire apparatus to this list, but with a specific condition: these vehicles must be transporting firefighters outside of specific geographic areas (Area A, Area B, and Area C as defined in other Arizona statutes) and must be exempt from federal diesel fuel excise tax. The bill requires that sellers of dyed diesel fuel obtain a written statement from the purchaser confirming that the fuel will only be used as permitted by law, and the statement may include additional information required by the state department. This change allows fire departments more flexibility in using dyed diesel fuel for their vehicles when responding to emergencies or transporting firefighters outside of certain predefined areas.
