HB 2300 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

electric vehicle charging stations; report

HB 2300 updates Arizona's gasoline standards for counties with over 1.2 million residents, requiring specific fuel types during winter months (November 1-March 31) to meet environmental rules. It establishes multiple acceptable gasoline options, including California and federal reformulated standards, and sets requirements for vapor pressure and oxygen content. The bill allows fuel suppliers to petition for temporary exemptions during ethanol shortages, with requests limited to 60 days, requiring proof of supply issues and a proposed compliant blend. The state must approve or deny petitions within seven days, and may extend exemptions for up to 30 additional days if shortages persist.
