A05494 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A5494
 
SPONSOR: Nojay (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring marinas to sell ethanol free gasoline   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 is amended to require the sale of ethanol free gasoline at marinas.   JUSTIFICATION: When ethanol supplemented gasoline sits unused for extended periods of time, the gasoline and ethanol components separate. Subsequent use of the fuel can seriously damage the engine. Usually, cars are operated frequently and, thus, are not affected. However, boats often sit idol for weeks or months at a time, and are therefore at risk. States such as FL and VA allow marinas to sell gas without the ethanol additive.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 05/21/13 held for consideration in environmental conservation 01/08/14 referred to environmental conservation 2011/2012 - A.8493   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have become a law.
