HB 1189 -- Motor Fuels

Co-Sponsors:  Myers, Moore, Jetton, Coleman, Mayer

This bill adds gasoline-oxygenate blends to the list of motor
fuels regulated by the Department of Agriculture.  The bill also
requires that, by August 28, 2004, 50% of the gasoline sold in
the state must contain at least 2.7% oxygen by weight.  The sales
requirement increases to 75% by August 28, 2006, and to 95% by
August 28, 2008.  Areas subject to the federal reformulated
gasoline program are exempt, but only during times of the year
when fuel containing 2.7% oxygen does not meet federal
requirements.  Fuel sold for use in aircraft, watercraft, and
racing cars is also exempt.  Retail gasoline stations may
dispense non-oxygenated premium fuel from one storage tank for
use in historic vehicles, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road
vehicles, boats, and small engines.
