FUEL STANDARDS (Section 414.032) Currently, all fuels shall meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, in addition to rules promulgated by the Director of the Department of Agriculture. Under this act, the Director may waive specific requirements, or establish temporary alternative requirements in the event of an extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstance. Such waiver shall be as limited in scope and applicability as necessary, and shall apply equally and uniformly to all persons and companies in the impacted fuel supply and distribution system. These provisions are identical to SCS/SB 998 (2018) and to provisions in the perfected SS/SCS/SB 1050 (2018). ERIC VANDER WEERD
