Over the weekend, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed new legislation to help Californians access lower-cost E15 fuel, 15% ethanol blended, an option that can diversify the state’s fuel supply.

The Governor signed Senate Bill 795, the “E15 Clean-up Act,” into law following the legislature’s unanimous passage of the bill on August 31. The bill removes a regulatory barrier to implementing last year’s AB 30, which authorized the sale of E15 in California.

“As Donald Trump’s costly and reckless Iran war continues to disrupt global oil markets and drive up costs for families at the pump, California is taking action to give consumers more affordable choices and strengthen our fuel supply,” said Gov. Newsom. “This common-sense bill cuts unnecessary red tape while maintaining our environmental and safety standards. We’re helping make E15 a real option for California drivers.”

Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper said the bill allows retailers to use existing vapor recovery equipment to dispense E15 if the manufacturer of that equipment submits a statement of compatibility to the relevant state agencies. “Thanks to the governor’s leadership and decisive action, California is closer than ever to lower gas prices and a cleaner future for families across the state. Dozens of other states have already seen the benefits of E15—healthier air, better engine performance, and cost savings at the pump. Now, California drivers are about to experience those same advantages for themselves,” said Cooper.

Cooper also thanked the bill’s principal authors, Sens. Bob Archuletta and Suzette Martinez Valladares, and Assemblymember David Alvarez, as well as the entire bipartisan California Problem Solvers Caucus for their leadership and commitment to reducing gas prices for California families.
