Suspension of E-15 access standard by order issued by governor

1. The governor may issue or renew an executive order that temporarily suspends the requirement in section 214A.32 that a retail dealer comply with the E-15 access standard at a retail motor fuel site owned or operated by the retail dealer. 2. The E-15 access standard suspension order as described in subsection 1 must be supported by the governor’s determination that any of the following apply: a. There is an inadequate supply of E-15 gasoline. b. The market price of E-15 gasoline may cause consumers to suffer economic hardship. c. Existing gasoline storage and dispensing infrastructure is not capable of storing and dispensing E-15 gasoline. 3. The governor may issue or renew an executive order under this section on a statewide or regional basis. 4. The E-15 access standard suspension order shall take effect on its date of publication in the Iowa administrative bulletin, unless the order specifies a later date. The order shall expire one year from its effective date unless a shorter period is stated in the order. The early expiration of the order may also occur based on circumstances described in the order.
