HF 2671: Relating to matters under the purview of the department of administrative services, including rules for capitol complex events and the compatibility of passenger vehicles rented or leased by the state with biodiesel blended fuel classified as B-20 or higher, and including effective date and applicability provisions

Signed into law

What it does

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.
