Committee hears cleanup bill to restore intended retail delivery-fee exemptions for certain fuel products
Summary
House File 35-31 is a technical correction to clarify statutory definitions so gasoline, diesel and related products are treated as intended under the retail delivery fee; industry witnesses described the change as restoring original legislative intent.
Representative Joy introduced House File 35-31 as a statutory cleanup to restore intended exemptions from the retail delivery fee for fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
Dallas Fisher, testifying for Fueling Minnesota, explained that changes made during the prior session unintentionally altered statutory definitions, creating a gray area for products regularly sold by fuel marketers. He said the bill restores the original language and prevents the retail delivery fee from applying to business-to-business transactions that were not meant to be covered.
Members treated the item as a technical fix; the author renewed the motion and the bill was laid over for possible inclusion in the omnibus tax bill.
