State Air Resources Board Ethanol Blends Gasoline Specifications

Abstract

Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt and implement motor vehicle fuel specifications for the control of air contaminants and sources of air pollution under specified circumstances. This bill would require the state board to complete a rulemaking on or before July 1, 2025, to adopt specifications for blends of gasoline containing 10.5% to 15% ethanol by volume for use as a transportation fuel. If the state board does not complete the rulemaking on or before that date, the bill would require that blends of gasoline containing 10.5% to 15% ethanol by volume be treated as approved by the state board and would authorize them to be sold in the state as transportation fuel. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
