EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2009. Chapter 377 – House Bill 163 – Motor Fuel – Dyed Diesel Fuel – Violations This bill identifies and clarifies who may be charged with a violation of the dyed diesel fuel law. In some instances, the owner, with or without the knowledge of the operator, knows the vehicle is being driven with dyed diesel fuel.

Also, the bill repeals the provision of law that requires a producer, refiner, or wholesaler of motor fuel after a certain date to extend voluntary allowances uniformly to all retail service station dealers that they supply.
