Bill Summary

For legislation relative to gas tax disclosure. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend Section 295C of Chapter 94 of the General Laws to require gas stations to disclose the specific amount of gas tax included in the price of gasoline, rather than just stating that taxes are included without specifying the amount. The bill removes the option for gas stations to simply state that taxes are included without disclosing the exact amount, thereby increasing transparency for consumers about the breakdown of the gasoline price.
