Senate supports aviation biofuels legislation

Legislation that would reestablish the Sustainable Aviation Biofuels Workgroup passed through the Senate with unanimous support during yesterday evening’s Senate floor session.

Senate Bill 6563 would require WSU’s Office of Clean Technology to convene the previously established workgroup of aviation biofuel stakeholders in order to facilitate communication and further develop the sustainable aviation fuel industry. The University testified in support on this legislation during last week’s Senate Energy, Environment & Technology Committee.

Having passed the Senate with a vote of 48-0, the bill will now proceed through the same process on the House side. You can view the Senate’s comments on Senate Bill 6563 below.
