Biofuel financial assistance funding provided, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 882 appropriates specific funds for grants to help Minnesota retail fuel stations upgrade equipment to dispense higher-concentration biofuels like E25. It directly affects stations selling fuel for post-2000 vehicles with no more than ten locations in Minnesota, covering up to 65% of upgrade costs (max $200,000 per station). The bill requires the commissioner of agriculture to submit annual reports detailing funded projects, geographic distribution, funding leverage, and support for minority/female-owned businesses. These reports must be shared with relevant legislative committees each January.
