The Joint Environment and Natural Resources Committee did not approve legislation to amend the law regarding ethanol-blended gasoline.

Legislation to amend the law regarding ethanol-blended gasoline to provide that a sales and distribution prohibition would take effect if only three other states had enacted similar laws was not approved by the Joint Environment and Natural Resources Committee. Under current Maine law, 10 other states or a number of states with a collective population of 30 million must enact a similar prohibition before the Maine law goes into effect.
