The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to exempt certain retail fuel transactions from the retail delivery fee and introduces new definitions related to fuel products. Specifically, it modifies the definition of "fuel products" in Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 168E.01, subdivision 8a, by deleting the previous specification of liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas and replacing it with a broader definition that includes all products defined in section 296A.01, subdivisions 13b, 21a, 30, 31, and 42.
Additionally, the bill adds two new subdivisions to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 296A.01. Subdivision 13b defines "diesel exhaust fluid" as a specific liquid mixture used in diesel engines to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, clarifying that it is not classified as motor fuel. Subdivision 21a introduces the term "fuel lubricants," which encompasses various petroleum-based or synthetic products used in vehicle maintenance that are not intended for combustion. These changes aim to clarify the definitions and scope of fuel-related products within the state's transportation laws.
