AI Generated Summary
This bill in Minnesota allows retail gasoline stations to have more than one tank for storing non-oxygenated (non-ethanol) gasoline, under certain conditions. This type of gasoline can be sold for specific uses like collector vehicles, off-road vehicles, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, and small engines. The new rules set out by this bill are:
- Non-oxygenated gasoline must be premium grade and should be used solely for the specified types of vehicles and equipment.
- Gasoline stations can have up to two storage tanks for non-oxygenated gasoline if they are within five miles of a motor sports racing facility; otherwise, they are limited to one tank.
- Stations must display clear signage at the pump indicating that the gasoline is non-oxygenated and specifying what it can be used for.
- Stations selling this type of gasoline are required to register every two years and report their annual sales of non-oxygenated gasoline.
The bill aims to provide easier access to non-oxygenated gasoline for vehicles and equipment where it's preferable or necessary, while also ensuring proper signage and regulation to prevent misuse.
