Bill Summary

This bill requires that gas stations display the State and federal taxes levied on each unit of motor fuel for sale, on the gasoline pump apparatus. Currently, stations are required to specify taxes levied on each unit sold, but can alternatively state that the price displayed "Includes State and Federal Taxes," "Includes N.J. and U.S. Taxes," or "Includes all Taxes." This bill amends current law to remove those alternatives, and requires that the unit price be displayed on the pumping apparatus. The bill changes the law to require the display sign at a gas station to include the specific amount of each applicable tax, State and federal, respectively.
