   (1) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following  terms
 shall have the following meanings:
   (a) ["Biodiesel"] "BIOFUEL" shall mean a fuel, designated B100 OR R99,
 that  meets  the  requirements  of  the ASTM international specification
 D6751 OR THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ASTM INTERNATIONAL SPECIFICATION D975.
   (b) ["Renewable Hydrocarbon Diesel" shall mean a  North  American-pro-
 duced fuel derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, and other renewable
 feedstocks  that  meet the requirements of ASTM international specifica-

 animal fats or cellulosic biomass listed in  table  1  of  40  C.F.R.  §
 80.1426.
   (2)  On  and  after July first, two thousand eighteen, all heating oil
 sold for use in any building within the counties of Nassau, Suffolk  and
 Westchester shall be bioheating fuel that contains at least five percent
 [biodiesel] BIOFUEL.
   (3)  On  or after July first, two thousand twenty-two, all heating oil

 requirement would result in financial hardship to consumers.
   (8)  The requirements of this section shall not: (a) prohibit the sale
 and use of bioheating fuel with the same or any  greater  percentage  of

 by this section.
   (9) No bioheating fuel shall be sold to a customer that would void the
 manufacturer's  warranty  for  that  burner  or  boiler  type unless the
