Bill > SB0667

This bill amends the Motor Fuels Quality Act to modify provisions related to the renewable fuels fund, which is a state treasury account designed to support alternative fuel initiatives. The bill makes several technical changes, including clarifying language about fund management, such as specifying that fund money does not lapse to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. The fund's purpose remains to promote alternative fuels through activities like awarding grants to improve alternative fuel production, encouraging development of renewable fuel quality standards, providing incentives to fuel retailers, and promoting vehicles powered by renewable fuels. The bill also updates the definition of "E85 fuel" from a previous reference to the Michigan Strategic Fund Act to a more specific technical definition referencing fuel ethanol blend percentages and American Society for Testing and Materials specifications. Importantly, the bill's implementation is contingent on the passage of a related Senate Bill (SB 631), creating a legislative tie bar that requires both bills to be enacted to take effect.
