Bill > HF1330

This bill updates gasoline and ethanol specifications in Minnesota state law by modifying several sections of existing statutes. The bill primarily focuses on updating technical references to the most recent ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for gasoline and ethanol, specifically changing reference standards from older versions (such as D4806-11a and D4814-11b) to newer versions (D4806-21a and D4814-24a). The changes ensure that gasoline and ethanol meet current industry standards for quality and performance. The bill maintains existing regulations about blending requirements, including prohibitions on blending gasoline with certain types of petroleum products and restrictions on non-ethanol oxygenates. It also reinforces that ethanol used in gasoline must be agriculturally derived, denatured according to federal regulations, and comply with specific technical specifications. These updates help ensure the continued quality and compatibility of gasoline and ethanol blends in Minnesota, aligning state regulations with the latest industry testing standards and federal guidelines.
