Grassley provides update on E15 in the Senate

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley suggests time could be running out to get an E15 bill passed out of the Senate.

“There’s not many bills between now and the election to go to the president,” he said. “And we’ve got to figure out one of those bills to get E15 in.”

A recent poll conducted by Morning Consult for the Renewable Fuels Association showed 75% of registered voters are supportive of access to year-round E15.

Speaking with reporters Tuesday, the Iowa Republican was asked if Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell’s medical absence could affect the timeline for E15 legislation.

“The unknown is when McConnell gets back,” Grassley said. “That’s very necessary to have a Republican majority on the appropriations committee. But by the way, the appropriations committee isn’t the only place to put E15.”

Grassley says President Trump has made it clear that he would sign a year-round E15 bill if Congress can get it passed.
