Ohio SB80 allows counties to implement motor fuel quality testing programs.

Ohio SB80 amends the Revised Code to allow county auditors to implement motor fuel quality testing programs. These programs test octane levels, sediment, and water in gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, and ethanol extended fuel. The director of agriculture can establish uniform rules for the state, but if not, counties can implement their own programs. Fuel inspectors must use equipment meeting ASTM standards and cannot charge fees. Data from tests must be reported to the director of agriculture and made public.
