Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Gasoline Storage Act is amended by adding
Section 8 as follows:
(430 ILCS 15/8 new)
Sec. 8. Motor vehicle fuel storage and dispensing
equipment; E10 and E15.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, and
to the fullest extent allowable under the law, all motor
vehicle fuel storage and dispensing equipment that is
currently permitted for storage and dispensing of

permitted to store and dispense gasoline-ethanol blends
containing 15% ethanol (E15), as long as the facility complies

Fire Marshal. Upon request from a facility, the Office of the
State Fire Marshal shall amend the facility's permit to state
that E15 storage and dispensing in the existing motor vehicle

equipment. The Office of the State Fire Marshal, or any other

facility on the grounds that the motor vehicle fuel storage
and dispensing equipment is not compatible for use with E15 if
is approved or permitted to use with E10.
(b) In this Section, "motor vehicle fuel storage and
dispensing equipment" means underground storage tanks and
related components, piping, motor fuel dispensing equipment,
including, but not limited to, nozzles, hoses, and fittings,
