The engrossed bill changes Clean Air Act ethanol RVP language from 10 percent to 10 to 15 percent and states it passed the House May 13, 2026.

The House-passed text matches the E15 policy, but it was still only an engrossed House bill, not enacted law.

Sorensen’s office says he introduced a farm bill amendment to permit year-round, nationwide E-15, but Republicans blocked it from being considered.

This was a concrete Sorensen effort, but the amendment failed, so it does not by itself fulfill the policy outcome.
