Bipartisan group of Senators launch Ethanol for America Act

In Washington, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) introduced her bipartisan Ethanol for America Act with Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), which would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to finalize rulemaking from 2021 to make the E15 fuel label clearer and more consumer-oriented. It would also confirm the compatibility of E15 with existing underground fuel storage and dispensing equipment, ensuring business owners are not required to make costly and unnecessary infrastructure changes.

Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), and Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) have co-signed this bill. Representatives Adrian Smith (R-Neb.) and Nikki Budzinski (D-Ill.) introduced this legislation in the U.S. House.
