Industry as e15 bill is defeated

Year-Round Sales of Higher Ehanol Blends E15 Bill is Defeated

MMA saw a win for the recreational boating industry last week as a bill that would have allowed for year-round sales of higher blends of ethanol was defeated and won't get a vote in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee this year. This is good news for the industry and follows countless meetings and discussions NMMA had with with key Senate offices to ensure they knew of the damaging impacts of E15 on marine engines. NMMA also activated the industry's grassroots platform, Boating United, resulting in thousands of boaters throughout the country adding their voice to the issue.
