WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD News) — Legislation aimed at allowing year-round E15 sales is now headed to the Senate, where supporters say the measure could face additional challenges in the next phase of the process.

Troy Bredenkamp with the Renewable Fuels Association joined us on Friday’s Market Day Report to discuss the legislation and what comes next for the proposal.

During his conversation with RFD News, Bredenkamp discussed the House passage of the bill and the reaction from ethanol supporters after years of debate surrounding nationwide year-round E15 sales.

He also addressed concerns raised by some groups within the soybean and oil industries as the legislation moves into the Senate.
