OH HB186

Creates qualified immunity for covered persons (those engaged in design, refining, manufacture, sale, storage, or distribution of motor fuel) from liability for incompatible motor fuel use unless plaintiff proves by clear and convincing evidence the fuel was dispensed at a retail service station from an improperly maintained or mislabeled pump.

Defines "motor fuel" to include gasoline, diesel, ethanol, blends, K-1 kerosene, compressed natural gas, and liquid petroleum/natural gas, but excludes substances prepackaged in containers of five gallons or less.

Amends Product Liability Law (Section 2307.75) to exclude motor fuel and fuel additives from defective design or formulation claims solely because they contain renewable fuel as defined under federal Clean Air Act.

Prohibits insurers authorized to conduct business in Ohio from denying claims based on underground storage tank incompatibility with motor fuel when the State Fire Marshal has determined the tank is compatible with that fuel.
