Description
Biodiesel and green diesel; minimum content in state contracts for vehicle fuel. Requires state public bodies to procure only diesel fuel containing, at a minimum, two percent, by volume, biodiesel fuel or green diesel fuel. The requirement will only apply to procurements of diesel fuel for use in on-road internal combustion engines and shall not apply if (i) such fuel is not practically available or (ii) the cost of such procurement exceeds the cost of unblended diesel fuel by five percent or more. Based on a finding of sufficient availability of biodiesel or green diesel, the Governor may increase the requirement of biodiesel fuel or green diesel fuel up to 20 percent by volume.

Comments
(I tagged this bill hunger because use of biodiesel fuel drives up the cost of grains and, therefore, contributes to hunger.)
