The bill amends the definition of motor fuel in the Motor Fuel Quality Act, specifically updating RCW 19.112.010. Key changes include the removal of the previous definition of "alternative fuel," which encompassed a wide range of energy sources used to propel motor vehicles, and the introduction of a more streamlined definition of "motor fuel." The new definition expands the scope to include not only liquid products but also gaseous products and electricity intended for transportation purposes.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of various fuel types, such as "E85 motor fuel," which is now specified as a blend of 75 to 85 percent denatured fuel ethanol, and "motor fuel," which now explicitly includes electricity. The amendments aim to modernize the language and ensure that the definitions reflect current technologies and practices in the fuel industry.
