fire trucks; diesel fuel; exemption

HB 2750 amends Arizona law to clarify that dyed diesel fuel may be used on state highways only in fire trucks, fire engines, and other fire apparatus when transporting firefighters outside specific areas defined in other statutes. The bill requires purchasers of dyed diesel fuel to provide written statements to sellers and the state department confirming the fuel will only be used in these exempt fire vehicles. It directly affects fire departments operating diesel-powered emergency vehicles that qualify for federal excise tax exemptions. The key provision ensures compliance with federal tax rules while allowing fire apparatus to legally use dyed diesel fuel on public roads.
