HF3531

Purpose

To exempt certain retail fuel transactions from the retail delivery fee and to define the scope of what counts as “fuel products” for this exemption.

Main Provisions

• The bill adds new language to Minnesota Statutes to create an exemption from the retail delivery fee for specific fuel products sold at retail.
• It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 296A.01 by adding subdivisions to support this exemption.
• It adds a new defined category called “Fuel products” in Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement section 168E.01, subdivision 8a, establishing the scope of products eligible for the exemption.

Definitions Added

• Fuel products means:
  • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as defined in Minnesota Statutes 296A.01, subdivisions 30 and 31.
  • All products defined in Minnesota Statutes 296A.01, subdivisions 13b, 21a, 30, 31, and 42.

Significance and Impact

• By defining “fuel products” and linking them to the exemption, the bill clarifies which fuel purchases are not subject to the retail delivery fee.
• This may reduce costs for consumers and businesses purchasing LNG, LPG, and other listed fuel products at retail.

Notable Observations

• The exact effective date and the full text of the exemption are not provided in the excerpt.
• The changes hinge on updated cross-references within the cited statutes to implement the fee exemption.
