More than 30 state biofuel and agriculture organizations have expressed strong support for an amendment to the 2026 Farm Bill that would allow year-round E15 sales. The bipartisan amendment, #298, would permit fuel retailers to offer E15 nationwide on a year-round basis and make significant changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard’s small refinery exemption program. The groups emphasize that year-round E15 access is crucial for rural farm economies, job creation, emission reduction, and energy security. The amendment represents a compromise between biofuel producers, fuel marketers, and oil refineries, providing certainty for fuel supply chain participants while promoting domestic security and expanding agricultural markets. Additionally, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly signed a tax package that includes a new income tax credit for E15 and higher-ethanol blend fuel sales in the state.
