Plain-language change summary

The changes made to Bill SB 349 involve adjustments to the labeling requirements for gas pumps that dispense various gasoline-ethanol blends. Specifically, the amendment adds a requirement that a label must clearly indicate that a minimum purchase of 4 gallons is necessary for certain blends. This matters because it ensures that customers are informed about the minimum purchase requirement before using the pump, potentially enhancing transparency and helping consumers make informed choices at the fuel station.
