This bill proposes updates to section 28-5649 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the sale and use of dyed diesel fuel. The current law allows for the sale of dyed diesel fuel for federally exempt motor vehicles, provided that the purchaser submits a written statement confirming that the fuel will only be used as specified. The bill adds clarifications to this requirement by specifying that the written statement must also be provided to the department and may include additional information as required.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new exemption from the federal excise tax on diesel fuel for fire trucks, fire engines, or other fire apparatus when they are engaged in transporting firefighters outside designated areas. This addition aims to support emergency services by alleviating some of the financial burdens associated with fuel costs during critical operations.
