What’s in it

Under current law, as part of the department of administrative services’ (DAS) competitive bidding procedure for the purchase of a motor vehicle operating using an internal combustion engine powered by diesel fuel, a bidder must certify that the motor vehicle’s manufacturer expressly states that the engine is capable of being powered by biodiesel blended fuel classified as B-20 or higher (Code section 8A.368(4)). This bill requires a private entity to make the same demonstration prior to being awarded a contract under DAS’ request for proposal process for state passenger vehicle rental or leasing. The bill applies to such contracts issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2026.
