Introduced

SB 204 - This act requires that all diesel fuel sold in Missouri after January 1, 2009, shall contain at least two percent biodiesel by volume. The biodiesel used to meet this requirement shall be produced and distributed by accredited producers and certified marketers under the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission.

If acquisition of the biodiesel-blended fuel is more expensive for a distributor than acquisition of conventional diesel fuel, the distributor is not required to acquire the biodiesel-blended fuel and neither this nor the sale of conventional diesel fuel at retail will be considered a violation of the act.

Fuel terminals in Missouri shall sell both biodiesel-blended fuel and conventional diesel fuel except those that only sell federal reformulated gasolines, which are not required to sell conventional diesel fuel.
