Senate’s RVP E15 waiver bill may not move as fast as hoped

In Washington, the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act (S.517) looks likely to move towards a hearing but getting to the markup stage may be a while off yet. Sen. Chuck Grassley had hoped for a markup as early as next week, but the committee’s chairman who opposes the bill said that wasn’t going to happen, though he had promised the bill’s author that it would get one. Some believe the markup could come before the August recess.
