Specifically, it establishes a small tax on dyed diesel fuel starting October 1, 2026, adjusts the petroleum release remedial action fee for diesel fuel, and revises the purpose and scope of the Ethanol Development Act to focus on ethanol, its coproducts, and related products, while also restructuring the Nebraska Ethanol Board to include more ethanol producers.
