The U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, which allows year-round access to E15 fuel across the country. The final House vote was 218 to 203, with broad bipartisan support.

“We will continue our dedicated efforts to make year-round E15 the law of the land,” Nebraska Ethanol Board (NEB) Executive Director Ben Rhodes said. “All eyes are now on the Senate as they take up this legislation, and we stand ready to support and assist our Senate champions in their efforts. In these times of fuel supply disruption and uncertain markets, year-round E15 is a surefire way to save consumers money at the pump, boost our rural economies, and bolster American energy security. Let’s get it done.”
