What This Bill Would Do

Pennsylvania House Bill 598 removes the minimum monthly diesel and biodiesel sales volume requirement for s seeking to qualify for video gaming operations. The measure eliminates the rule requiring a location to sell an average of 50,000 gallons of diesel or biodiesel fuel monthly over a 12-month period, while keeping other infrastructure requirements in place.

Why it matters
