Bill > S484

This bill allows a retail dealer of motor fuel, such as a gas station owner, to sell gasoline or other fuels at a price lower than their own cost plus expenses, but only if it's to match a competitor's price. However, it explicitly states that it remains illegal for any dealer to sell fuel below their net cost with the intention of harming competition, such as driving other businesses out of the market or significantly reducing the number of competitors. The term "net cost" refers to the price the dealer paid for the fuel, and "selling expenses" would include costs like labor, rent, and utilities associated with operating the business. This change modifies existing law that previously prohibited selling below cost under any circumstances.
