Petroleum products: fuel terminals: biodiesel.

Existing law requires the Department of Food and Agriculture to establish specifications for compression-ignition engine fuel, kerosene, and fuel oil and prohibits sales of those regulated petroleum products unless labeled, as specified. This bill would prohibit a fuel terminal, as defined, from selling diesel fuel combined with biodiesel unless the specific amount of biodiesel blended with the diesel, either by percent or by actual gallons, is disclosed on the fuel invoice or product transfer document, as specified. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
