  3 33    The bill amends Code sections 216B.3, 260C.19B, 262.25B,
  3 34 307.21, and 904.312B which require the department of the

  4  4 based hydraulic fluids, greases, and other industrial
  4  5 lubricants.
  4  6    The bill defines bio-based hydraulic fluids, greases, and
  4  7 other industrial lubricants as the same as defined by the
  4  8 United States department of agriculture if the department has
  4  9 adopted such a definition.  Otherwise, the term means
  4 10 hydraulic fluids, greases, and other lubricants containing a
  4 11 minimum of 51 percent soybean oil.  The bill also defines
  4 12 other industrial lubricants as lubricants used or applied to
  4 13 machinery.
