What changed between versions
The Arizona Commerce Authority's primary objective changed from reducing fuel and gas prices to improving motor fuel and gasoline resilience.
A new 'Fuel Resiliency Task Force' was created with 10 specific members, including representatives from emergency management, agriculture, environmental quality, and various petroleum associations.
The required report must now include detailed minutes of task force meetings, names of consulted industry officials, and specific recommendations for executive, legislative, and private sector actions.
The requirement to study the impact of repealing the cleaner burning gasoline blend and the opportunity to construct new refineries was removed.
The study scope was updated to focus on revising the state implementation plan for air quality standards and assessing the impact on gas prices, supplies, and air quality.
The deadline for the authority to submit a report was extended from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2029.
The repeal date for the bill's provisions was delayed from December 31, 2029, to December 31, 2030.
