Iowa House passes Biofuels Access Bill

The Iowa House of Representatives passed House File 2128 on Feb. 2, a bill proposed by Gov. Kim Reynolds to increase consumer access to higher biofuel blends like B20 and E15.

“Today was a victory for Iowa consumers,” said Monte Shaw, executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association. “Every person in Iowa deserves the choice of higher blends like E15 and B20. By unlocking the power of biofuels, Iowans can save money at the pump while also powering our farm economy. IRFA urges the Senate to take the bill up quickly. We also want to thank Gov. Reynolds for prioritizing biofuels choice for Iowans and leading the way. Finally, passing this bill would not have been possible without support from both parties and IRFA thanks Speaker Grassley, Leader Konfrst and all House members who stood united behind biofuels. Promoting biofuels has never been a partisan issue and today we saw what can be accomplished when we focus on what’s best for Iowa’s future.”
