  1  6 fuel that contains more than two percent of methyl
  1  7 tertiary butyl ether as provided by rules adopted by

  1 12 surface water in this state.
  1 13    b.  The legislative council is requested to
  1 14 establish an interim committee to study issues
  1 15 relating to the sale, use, and health and
  1 16 environmental effects of oxygenate enhancers contained
  1 17 in motor vehicle fuel, including but not limited to
  1 18 ethanol and methyl tertiary butyl ether.  The interim
  1 19 committee shall report the findings and
  1 20 recommendations of its study, including any proposed
  1 21 legislation, to the general assembly as required by
  1 22 the legislative council prior to the 2000 Session of
  1 23 the Seventy-eighth General Assembly.
  1 24    c.  At sites where groundwater or soil monitoring
  1 25 is required, pursuant to section 455B.474, subsection
  1 26 1, paragraph "d", "f", or "h", the department of
  1 27 natural resources shall require that monitoring
  1 28 include testing for the presence of methyl tertiary
  1 29 butyl ether from the locations where other sample
  1 30 analyses are required.  The department shall provide
  1 31 regular updates to the interim committee established
  1 32 in paragraph "b" as required by the interim committee.
  1 33 The department shall report the findings and
  1 34 recommendations of the testing to the general assembly
