A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to clarify that the legislation enacted in 2007 to require suppliers that import gasoline for sale to offer to distributors or retailers only gasoline that is not preblended with fuel alcohol and that is suitable for subsequent such blending also requires these suppliers to offer such gasoline at each terminal in the state.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 75‑90(b) reads as rewritten:

SECTION 2.  Notwithstanding any provision of Part 2A of Article 21A of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources may use up to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) of funds credited to the Commercial Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund in fiscal year 2009‑2010 to study the effect of petroleum products blended with greater than ten percent (10%) ethanol on underground storage tank components.
SECTION 3.  Section 2 of this act becomes effective July 1, 2009. The remaining sections of this act are effective when they become law.
