Gov. Gavin Newsom signs legislation to allow E15 in California

Renewable fuel groups are applauding California Governor Gavin Newsom’s signing of the California E15 bill.

It passed unanimously out of the Assembly and Senate, legalizing lower-cost E15 in the state. They were the only remaining state in the country where E15 sales were not allowed, according to RFA’s Press Release.

RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper thanked Governor Newsom for the move.

“Thanks to Gov. Newsom’s leadership and decisive action, California is on the road to lower gas prices and a cleaner future for families across the state. Many other states have already seen the benefits of E15—healthier air, better engine performance, and cost savings at the pump. Now, California drivers are about to experience those same advantages for themselves, and we thank Gov. Newsom for voicing his support for E15 throughout the legislative process.”
