AB166,1,2
1An Act to amend 168.11 (1) (b) of the statutes;
relating to: the labeling of
2certain gasoline.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a device that dispenses a gasoline-ethanol fuel blend for
sale at retail must be labeled with the percentage of ethanol in the blend.
This bill requires a device that dispenses gasoline that contains an oxygenate
other than ethanol to be labeled with the identity of the oxygenate if the oxygen
content of the gasoline is at least 1.5% by weight.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
