The bill establishes a new Biofuel Sales Volume Incentive Program under Minnesota Statutes, section 41A.115, which will be administered by the commissioner of agriculture starting January 1, 2028. This program aims to provide financial incentives to retail gasoline stations for selling eligible biofuel blends, specifically those containing 11 to 15 percent denatured ethanol by volume. Retail gasoline stations can receive incentive payments of five cents per gallon sold, capped at $50,000 per year, provided they meet certain eligibility criteria, including being located in Minnesota and not having sold eligible biofuel blends prior to the program's start date.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $5,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2027 to support the implementation of the program, with funds available until June 30, 2032. The commissioner is also authorized to adopt rules necessary for the program's execution. Retail gasoline stations must apply for the incentive payments and provide documentation of their sales, which will be verified against fuel sales reports submitted to the Department of Commerce. Payments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to available funding.
