This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the use of dyed diesel fuel by adding provisions for fire trucks, fire engines, or other fire apparatus. Under the new law, these vehicles would be authorized to use dyed diesel fuel when transporting firefighters on state highways outside of designated areas A, B, and C, provided they are exempt from the federal excise tax on diesel fuel. This addition is aimed at expanding the categories of federally exempt motor vehicles that can utilize dyed diesel fuel.

The bill also includes technical changes to the existing language, specifically clarifying that a written statement must be provided by the purchaser of dyed diesel fuel, confirming that it will only be used in accordance with the specified regulations. The current statute remains unchanged in other respects, ensuring that the existing framework for the sale and use of dyed diesel fuel continues to apply.
