Statement on Michigan Senate Approval of SB814

LANSING (June 30, 2022) — Michigan Agri-Business Association President Chuck Lippstreu issued the following statement on Senate approval of SB814, which would expand the availability of lower-cost biofuels at the pump:

“Today’s vote is a welcome sign of progress on legislation that promises to deliver lasting benefits for Michigan motorists and our rural economy. We applaud the Michigan Senate Agriculture Committee for moving quickly to approve this bill, and we urge lawmakers to work quickly to send it to Governor Whitmer’s desk. In some areas of the country, savings on E15 have risen to nearly a dollar per gallon, and that’s an opportunity we must provide for Michigan families.”
