Bill Summary
Relative to the displaying of motor fuel prices based on the method of payment. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase transparency for consumers purchasing motor fuel by requiring retail dealers to clearly display all prices for an identical grade of fuel if different prices are offered based on the customer's method of payment. Specifically, it amends existing laws (Section 295C and Section 295D of chapter 94) to mandate that any signs or advertisements for motor fuel must show every price per gallon for a specific grade of fuel and the corresponding payment method. Furthermore, all prices for a particular grade of fuel displayed on a sign or in an advertisement must be the same size and presented in a similar way, ensuring consumers can easily compare options regardless of how they choose to pay.
