Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: Tells gas station owners to display the prices they charge for fuel on a sign visible from the street and at each pump. (Flesch Readability Score: 80.4). Requires a person that operates a service station, business or other place for the purpose of retailing and delivering gasoline, diesel or other fuel to display on a sign visible from the street and on a sign visible at or near each dispensing device the prices charged for all grades of gasoline, diesel or other fuel.

AI Summary

This bill amends Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 646.930 to require fuel retailers, such as gas stations, to display their fuel prices in a more transparent manner. Specifically, the bill mandates that service stations, businesses, and other fuel retailers must display the prices for all grades of gasoline, diesel, or other fuel on a sign that is visible from the street and on a sign at or near each fuel dispensing device. The bill removes references to "cash" prices and changes the language from "may" to "shall," making price display a requirement rather than an option. The legislation also maintains existing provisions that require price signs to show the same unit of measurement as the dispensing device, clearly state any conditions for special prices, and identify specific areas where certain prices apply. Additionally, the bill preserves a consumer protection clause that prevents retailers from requiring customers to fill their entire fuel tank to receive a displayed price. These changes aim to provide consumers with clearer and more accessible information about fuel pricing at retail locations.
