More detail
The proposal would require state agencies to buy biodiesel blends of at least 20% for state-owned diesel vehicles and equipment. It would cover fuel purchases for state-owned diesel-powered vehicles and equipment. The requirement would apply only where the blend is available. The text includes a limit on how much more the biodiesel blend may cost than diesel, but the amount is unclear because amendment formatting is missing. If enacted, the rule would take effect after the act is published in the statute book.
