House updates Minnesota gasoline specifications to reflect ASTM standards
Summary
House File 1330, updating Minnesota gasoline technical specifications to match ASTM recommendations, passed the House 132-0 on March 20.
St. Paul — The Minnesota House on March 20 approved House File 1330, which updates the state's gasoline specifications to align with recommendations from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The bill passed on third reading by a vote of 132-0.
Representative Ben Van Binsbergen, the bill's author, said the changes are technical updates recommended by ASTM and the Department of Commerce weights-and-measures division. "This bill provides technical updates to Minnesota gasoline specifications," Van Binsbergen said during third-reading remarks.
Representative Nick Hewitt, a co-sponsor, told the chamber the bill has support from regional refineries, citing Flint Hills and other local operators in his district. The bill's backers said the updates help ensure gasoline performs across seasonal and geographic variations.
Representative Matt Scott briefly questioned Van Binsbergen, making a lighthearted remark during colloquy; no substantive amendment or opposition was recorded. The chamber approved the bill on a 132-0 roll-call vote. The measure will proceed through the usual enrollment and transmittal steps.
