FARMING/EQUIPMENT: Provides relative to the regulation of fuel used in agricultural machinery and fishery equipment
HB 134 expands the scope of fuel regulations to include fishery equipment in addition to agricultural machinery. The bill defines fishery equipment as any gear used in fisheries operations, such as fish processing machines for marine, freshwater, and aquaculture species. By amending existing statutes, it ensures that fuel used in these fishing tools is subject to the same regulatory oversight as fuel used in farming equipment. This change directly affects operators of both agricultural and fishing machinery who rely on regulated fuels for their operations.
