The bill amends K.S.A. 75-3744a to require state agencies in Kansas to purchase a blend of biodiesel that is 20% or higher for use in state-owned diesel-powered vehicles and equipment, provided that the price does not exceed $0.25 more per gallon than regular diesel fuel. Additionally, it maintains the requirement for state agencies to purchase motor-vehicle fuel blends containing at least 10% ethanol, ensuring that the cost does not exceed $0.10 more per gallon than the current price of regular fuel.

The bill also includes several deletions and modifications to existing language, such as changing the definition of motor-vehicle fuels and adjusting the pricing limits for fuel blends. Specifically, it removes the previous requirement for a 2% biodiesel blend and replaces it with the new 20% requirement. The existing section of K.S.A. 75-3744a is repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
