owned or operated by this State, any county or unit of local
government, any school district, any community college or
public college or university, or any mass transit agency must,
when refueling at a bulk central fueling facility, use a
biodiesel blend that contains 5% 2% biodiesel, as those terms
are defined in the Illinois Renewable Fuels Development Program
Act, where available, unless the engine is designed or
retrofitted to operate on a higher percentage of biodiesel or
on ultra low sulfur fuel.
    (b) Nothing in this Section prohibits any unit of
government from using a biodiesel blend containing more than 2%
biodiesel.
