Democrat House Lawmakers Push for Biodiesel Blender’s Credit Renewal

Last week, Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Cheri Bustos (D-IL), and Dave Loebsack (D-IA), are circulating a letter in the House for signatures in an effort to push for an extension of the biodiesel blenders' tax credit through 2019. The biodiesel credit expired on December 31, 2017. They plan to send the letter to House leadership and the House Ways and Means Committee leadership.

Meanwhile, Rep. Abby Finkenauer (D-IA) introduced bipartisan legislation known as the “Biodiesel Tax Credit Extension Act,” (H.R.2089) which would extend the credit for 2018 and 2019.
