Bill > SB607

This bill requires fuel retailers in Pennsylvania to clearly label fuel dispensers with specific tax information for both automotive and diesel fuel. The labels must display the current rates for federal and state liquid fuels taxes and diesel fuel taxes, including both individual and aggregate tax rates. The Department of Agriculture will be responsible for designing, creating, and maintaining these labels, which must be affixed in a consistent location on fuel dispensers at no cost to the retailers. The department must design the initial label within 60 days of the bill's effective date and update the label within 60 days of any tax rate changes. The bill provides precise definitions for terms like "diesel fuel," "federal diesel fuel tax," and "state liquid fuels tax," drawing from existing Pennsylvania vehicle code and federal tax regulations. Retailers will not be held liable for label affixing or maintenance, but must ensure the labels are visible to consumers. The primary goal of this legislation appears to be increasing transparency about the tax components of fuel prices for consumers at the point of purchase.
