On page 1, line 16, after "pumps;" strike "and"

On page 1, line 18, after "diesel" insert the following:

"(7) Biodiesel use in state-owned diesel-powered vehicles provides a means for the state to comply with the alternative fuel vehicle purchase requirements of the energy policy act of 1992, P.L. 102-486; and

(8) The state is in a position to set an example of large scale use of biodiesel in diesel-powered vehicles and equipment."

On page 2, line 9, after "lubricity" insert ", provided that the use of a lubricity additive is warranted and that the use of biodiesel is comparable in performance and cost with other available lubricity additives"

EFFECT: Recognizes that using biodiesel in state-owned diesel-powered vehicles provides a way for the state to comply with the alternative fuel vehicle purchase requirements of federal law; recognizes that the state may set an example for use of biodiesel; and provides that using biodiesel as an additive to ultra-low sulfur diesel is conditioned on whether the use of biodiesel is warranted and that its use is comparable in performance and cost with other available lubricity additives.
