Bill Summary
This act would establish minimum percentages of bio-based product contained in heating oil sold in the state and set dates for compliance to set standards. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding bio-based products in heating oil by extending the compliance deadlines for minimum percentages of bio-based content in No. 2 distillate heating oil sold in the state for residential, commercial, or industrial uses. Specifically, it pushes back the requirement for heating oil to meet B20 biodiesel blend and/or renewable hydrocarbon diesel standards from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030, and the requirement to meet B50 biodiesel blend and/or renewable hydrocarbon diesel standards from July 1, 2030, to July 1, 2035. Bio-based product refers to materials derived from plants or animals, and biodiesel is a type of fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats. The bill also states that it will take effect upon passage, meaning it becomes law immediately once signed.
