The bill allows E15 fuel to be sold year-round nationwide by removing burdensome federal restrictions that currently limit sales to the summer months.\n\n\u201cYear-round E15 is a major win for Kansas agriculture, American energy, and families looking for more choices at the pump,\u201d said Rep. Mann. \u201cKansas farmers help feed, fuel, and clothe the world, and this commonsense legislation strengthens markets for our producers, supports domestic energy production, and reduces unnecessary regulatory barriers. As a member of the Rural Domestic Energy Council, I have worked directly with producers, refiners, and energy stakeholders to craft this legislation, and I look forward to getting it across the finish line.\u201d\n\nThe Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act:\n\nAllows E15 fuel to be sold year-round nationwide by removing seasonal federal restrictions on its sale\n\nStrengthens markets for agricultural producers by increasing demand for ethanol-based fuels\n\nExpands consumer choice at the pump by making higher-ethanol fuel blends permanently available, but not required\n\nSupports domestic energy production by allowing more American-grown biofuels to reach consumers\n\nAdds more than 100,000 rural jobs at refineries nationwide\n\nReduces unnecessary regulatory barriers that increase costs\n\nDuring debate on the legislation, Rep. Mann emphasized how both American families and agricultural producers will benefit from this policy.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:21:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mann.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mann-votes-support-kansas-farmers-give-americans-choice-pump"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0249780025333166, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
