SB235-236 and HB4424-4425 will help meet Michigan’s clean energy goals, spark rural economic opportunity May 1, 2025 – Michigan Agri-Business Association (MABA) President Chuck Lippstreu today issued the following statement of support for Senate Bills 235-236, and House Bills 4424-4425: “These bipartisan bills will ensure Michigan is a go-to source for clean fuels to meet growing demand from America’s air carriers, and just as important, they will fuel a stronger rural economy that starts with Michigan farmers and Main Street businesses. We thank House Agriculture Committee Chairman Jerry Neyer, as well as State Senators Sam Singh and Joseph Bellino, for this thoughtful strategy that will spark rural economic growth, help meet Michigan’s clean energy goals, and capitalize on a rapidly-emerging market opportunity for Sustainable Aviation Fuel.” The bills were introduced in the Michigan Senate by Senator Sam Singh and Senator Joseph Bellino; and in the Michigan House by Representative Jerry Neyer. The legislation would provide a $1.50-per-gallon tax credit for those who purchase, produce, or blend sustainable aviation fuel. The credit is designed to directly support farmers and the businesses that develop and supply cleaner-burning, ethanol-derived aviation fuels. # # #
