Alternative Fuel Use Study

The Ohio Department of Taxation must study and submit a report by October 2007 that examines the feasibility of encouraging the use of alternative fuels by reducing the motor fuel tax rate on alternative fuels to reflect their lower energy content. The Ohio Department of Development is required study and submit an additional report by October 2007 that examines ways to make the production, sale, and use of biodiesel and blended ethanol fuels a commercially viable and self-sustaining industry in Ohio.
