The bill has support from both Republicans and Democrats in farming states, but it still needs to pass through committees and both chambers of Congress.

Key Points

  • This bill requires the EPA to finish a rule that helps gas stations sell E15 fuel, which is gasoline mixed with 15 percent ethanol. It aims to make it cheaper and easier for station owners to offer this fuel to drivers.
  • Gas stations would no longer need to find old paperwork to prove their underground storage tanks are safe for E15. The bill says most tanks built after July 2005 are automatically considered safe for this fuel blend.
  • The bill changes how E15 is labeled at the pump. It directs the EPA to use a specific labeling plan that was first suggested in 2021 to make sure drivers know what they are putting in their cars.
  • Looking toward the future, any new gas tanks or parts installed after this law passes must be able to handle up to 100 percent ethanol. This ensures that gas stations are ready for even higher ethanol blends in the years to come.
  • The EPA would have only 90 days to put these new rules into action once the bill becomes law. This fast timeline is meant to speed up the availability of ethanol blends across the country.
