Delays the 20 percent biodiesel minimum content requirement for diesel fuel sold in Minnesota from May 1, 2018 to May 1, 2020.

Requires commissioners of agriculture, commerce, and pollution control to publish notice in the State Register at least 270 days before any scheduled minimum content increase, certifying that an American Society for Testing and Materials specification exists for the blend level.

Mandates that at least 50 percent of biodiesel produced in Minnesota must come from feedstock with 75 percent or more produced in the United States and Canada to meet supply requirements.

Requires that at least 5 percent of biodiesel used must be produced from nontraditional biological resources such as algae, waste oils, or tallow, though this condition may be waived if uneconomical under market conditions.

Allows the commissioner of commerce to temporarily suspend minimum content requirements during periods of biodiesel fuel shortage or quality problems.
