    (815 ILCS 370/4.1)  (from Ch. 5, par. 1704.1)
    Sec. 4.1. (a) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device
which is used to dispense a motor fuel containing at least 1%
by volume of ethanol, of methanol, or of a combination thereof,
there shall be displayed a label which identifies the maximum
percentage by volume, to the nearest whole percent, of ethanol,
of methanol, and of co-solvent contained in the motor fuel.
Such labelling shall be done in contrasting colors with block
letters at least 1/2 inch in height and 1/4 inch in width, and
not more than one inch in height and 1/2 inch in width, and
shall be visible to customers. The label shall be located on
the front or sides of the dispenser and within the top 30
percent of the height of the dispenser. On a dual-faced
dispenser, the label shall be affixed on each front or each
side in accordance with these requirements. Devices used to
dispense only motor fuels which contain a total of less than 1%
by volume of methanol and ethanol need not be so labelled.
    (a-5) (Blank). Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device
that is used to dispense a motor fuel containing at least 2% by

contrasting colors with block letters at least 1/2 inch in
height and 1/4 inch in width, and not more than one inch in

    (a-10) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device that is
used to dispense a motor fuel containing biodiesel or biodiesel
blends, the biodiesel and biodiesel blends shall be identified
by the capital letter "B" followed by the numerical value
representing the volume percentage of biodiesel fuel, such as
B10, B20, or B100, as follows:
        (1) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device that
    is used to dispense a motor fuel containing between 5% and
    up to and including 20% of biodiesel, there shall be
    displayed on each retail dispenser:
            (a) the capital letter "B" followed by the
        numerical value representing the maximum volume
        percentage of biodiesel fuel and ending with
        "biodiesel blend", such as B10 biodiesel fuel blend or
        B20 biodiesel fuel blend; or
            (b) the phrase "biodiesel blend between 5% and 20%"
        or similar words.
        (2) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device that
    is used to dispense a motor fuel containing more than 20%
    of biodiesel, there shall be displayed on each retail
    dispenser the capital letter "B" followed by the numerical
    value representing the volume percentage of biodiesel fuel
    and ending with either "biodiesel" or "biodiesel blend",
    such as B100 biodiesel or B60 biodiesel blend.
        (3) The label shall be done in contrasting colors with
    block letters at least 1/2 inch in height and 1/4 inch in
    width, and not more than one inch in height and 1/2 inch in
    width, and shall be visible to customers. The label shall
    be located on the front or sides of the dispenser and
    within the top 30% of the height of the dispenser. On a
    dual-faced dispenser, the label shall be affixed on each
    front or each side in accordance with these requirements.
    Devices used to dispense only motor fuels that contain a
    total of 5% or less by volume of biodiesel need not be
    labeled.
    (b) Each seller of a motor fuel which contains methanol,
ethanol, or biodiesel the methanol derivative MTBE shall notify
the purchaser thereof of the percentage by volume of ethanol,
of methanol, of biodiesel the methanol derivative MTBE, and of
co-solvent which have been added to such motor fuel, and this
information shall appear on the bill of lading, manifest or
delivery ticket for such motor fuel. However, this subsection
(b) shall not apply to sales at retail.
    (c) No motor fuel, whether or not it contains any lead or
lead compounds, may contain more ethanol, or methanol, or the
methanol derivative MTBE than is permitted, or contain less
co-solvent than is required, by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency for unleaded motor fuels under Section 211(f)
of the federal Clean Air Act.
    (d) All motor fuel sold or offered for sale by the
distributor shall contain the percentage and type of alcohol as
stated on the bill of lading, manifest or delivery ticket.

the labeling and notification requirements in this Section
shall be enforced beginning 60 days after the effective date of
this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly.
    (f) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require
