OH SB150

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 demonstrates fuel was dispensed at a retail service station from a pump that was not properly maintained or did not correctly identify the fuel type.

Adds motor fuel and fuel additives as exempt from product liability defect claims if they comply with state fire marshal or EPA controls under the federal Clean Air Act, and exempts motor fuel products solely because they contain renewable fuel.

Prohibits insurers authorized to conduct business in Ohio from denying claims based on underground storage tank incompatibility with motor fuel if the state fire marshal has determined the tank, system, or equipment is compatible with that fuel.

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

Amends sections 2307.75 and 3737.88 of the Revised Code and enacts new section 2305.52 regarding product liability law and underground storage tank regulations.
