| 16 | 16 | alternative fueling facility accessible and available to the public | |
| 17 | 17 | at times designated by the grant contract until each eligible | |
| 18 | 18 | entity that does agree to those terms has been awarded a grant. The | |
| 19 | 19 | prohibition imposed by this subsection does not apply to a facility | |

| 29 | 29 | and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. | |
