HF 2687 Iowa House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to renewable fuel infrastructure, including by providing for a financing program, and including effective date provisions.

This Iowa bill updates regulations for gas stations to prepare them for higher blends of ethanol fuel, specifically requiring infrastructure to eventually handle E-85 or E-40 gasoline. It mandates that new or converted fueling equipment must be compatible with E-85, while allowing temporary use of lower blends like E-15 until 2026. The legislation also defines specific safety terms for fuel dispensers and establishes a timeline for phasing out lower ethanol blends in favor of higher concentrations. Additionally, the bill clarifies that existing financial incentives for renewable fuel projects do not need to be re-evaluated under these new rules.
