Environmental Quality Board required to order a generic environmental impact statement on sustainable aviation fuel, and temporary moratorium on sustainable aviation fuel tax credit and grants placed.

HF 3619 requires Minnesota's Environmental Quality Board to conduct a generic environmental impact statement on sustainable aviation fuel production and use. It places a temporary moratorium on both tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel producers/blenders (under Minn. Stat. § 41A.30) and grants from the Department of Agriculture until this review is completed. The bill amends tax credit rules to state that credits can only be claimed after the Environmental Quality Board finishes the impact statement and the commissioner certifies the credit. This directly affects sustainable aviation fuel producers, blenders, and the state agencies responsible for administering tax credits and grants.
