Representative Hodge briefly discussed the intent of Bill 1 on ethanol gasoline. She clarified that the legislation would require gasoline sold in Colorado to be blended with ethanol. The bill was placed on the table for action. Senator Shaffer commented on Bill 1 and proposed a conceptual amendment that changed the ethanol by volume percentage requirements. The conceptual amendment would allow the 5 and 10 percent ethanol by volume requirements to remain the same. For the 15 and 20 percent blend requirements, the mandate would only become effective if: the state receives a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency; blends are compatible with ASTM fuel standards and federal energy laws; and blends do not void an auto manufacturer's engine warranty.

Prior to the committee voting on the Senator Shaffer conceptual amendment to Bill 1, Representative Gardner made a substitute motion that would strike the provisions that pertain to the 15 and 20 percent ethanol by volume requirements. The substitution motion failed on a 6-3 vote and the original motion passed without objection by those members of the General Assembly present. The legislation was adopted as amended on a 8-0 vote by those members present of the General Assembly.
