Help Before Crossover Needed

We need to contact Senator R.C. Soles and urge him to put Senate Bill 1451 on the schedule for today's Commerce, Small Business, and Entrepreneurship meeting.

1451 establishes a biodiesel incentive fund for the producers of biodiesel in North Carolina. More accurately put, 1451 removes the excise tax on the first 2.5 million gallons of biodiesel produced in North Carolina using North Carolina feedstock. This is an important measure needed to ensure the viability of the biofuels industry in North Carolina.

Please, contact Sen. Soles.

Subject: Senate Bill 1451

Dear Sen. Soles,

I urge you to place Senate Bill 1451 on the agenda for todays meeting of Commerce, Small Business, and Entrepreneurship. 1451 is an important measure to ensure the sustainability of the biofuels industry in North Carolina. This bill would establish a biodiesel incentive fund, which would help the current producers of biodiesel and would encourage more industry. More accurately, 1451 would remove the excise tax on the first 2.5 million gallons of biodiesel produced using North Carolina feedstock. This is an important bill and I strongly encourage you to place it on the agenda.

Sincerely,
