Bill Summary
Amends the Motor Fuel Sales Act. Authorizes motor fuel blends containing 10.5% to 15% ethanol, by volume, to be sold in the State at any time during the year if permitted under federal law.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Motor Fuel Sales Act to authorize the sale of E-15 gasoline (a motor fuel blend containing between 10.5% and 15% ethanol) in Illinois year-round, provided such sales are permitted under federal law. The bill specifically directs the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to take all necessary actions to obtain any required federal authorization for the year-round sale of these motor fuel blends. Ethanol blends like E-15 are alternative fuel mixtures that contain a higher percentage of ethanol than traditional gasoline, potentially offering environmental and economic benefits by reducing petroleum consumption and supporting agricultural industries. Currently, federal regulations have seasonal restrictions on the sale of higher ethanol blends, and this bill seeks to enable more flexible sales throughout the year.
