WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) and Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) reintroduced the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025 to allow year-round, nationwide sale of E15.
The senators were also joined by Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), John Thune (R-S.D.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Tina Smith (D-Minn.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). U.S. Representatives Adrian Smith (NE-03) and Angie Craig (MN-02) introduced companion legislation in the House.
“Diversifying the energy market, particularly our fuel supply, is beneficial for our country,” said Sen. Moran. “Allowing E15 to be sold year-round will provide farmers and ethanol producers with new markets to sell biofuels made from corn and sorghum, while providing consumers with more options at the pump.”
“It’s time to once and for all solidify President Trump’s pledge to allow the sale of year-round E15—giving America’s producers and consumers the certainty they deserve,” said Sen. Fischer. “My bill will put an end to years of patchwork regulations and finally make nationwide, year-round E15 a reality. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and the Senate, as well as with President Trump, to get this bill signed into law.”
“For our country to remain a global energy leader, we must continue to invest in renewable and clean energy so we can decrease our emissions and dependence on foreign oil,” said Sen. Duckworth. “Producing less expensive fuel choices like E15 that can be sold year-round would help lower gas prices, protect the environment, support our farmers and drive economic opportunity throughout the Midwest. I’m proud to join Senator Fischer in reintroducing our bipartisan legislation that would do just that.”
Kansas farmers are appreciative of Senator Moran’s efforts in leveling the playing field for ethanol by removing unnecessary limits for the sale of E15 fuel to benefit consumers, farmers and the Kansas economy,” said Josh Roe, CEO of the Kansas Corn Growers Association. “This legislation will ensure consumers across Kansas and the United States will have year-round access to this cleaner, higher octane, lower priced fuel.”
“Nationwide consumer access to E15 will save drivers money at the pump while boosting the farm economy,” said Kenneth Hartman Jr., President of the National Corn Growers Association. “We want to applaud the sponsors and co-sponsors of this bill for introducing legislation that promises to significantly benefit consumers and farmers alike.”
“E-15 is a win for both farmers and consumers, offering a vital opportunity to lower fuel prices and provide more choices at the pump,” said Rob Larew, President of the National Farmer Union. “This legislation supports family farmers by creating stronger, more reliable markets while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With this bill, we’re taking critical steps toward a more sustainable future, and we urge lawmakers to act quickly to ensure farmers and consumers benefit from these opportunities.”
This legislation is also supported by American Petroleum Institute, Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy, National Corn Growers Association, National Farmer Union and National Association of Convenience Stores.
Last month, President Trump took steps to make E15 available year-round through his Executive Order Declaring a National Energy Emergency.
