Bill Summary
For legislation relative to price discrepancies in gas station purchases . Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect consumers by ensuring that the price of motor fuel displayed at gas stations remains consistent for a minimum of twenty-four hours, preventing retail dealers from selling fuel at a different price than what is posted. It also explicitly prohibits charging a higher price for motor fuel when a customer uses a credit card instead of cash or other payment methods, and forbids any hidden discounts or benefits that would allow a customer to pay less than the advertised price. Furthermore, if a gas station combines the sale of motor fuel with another product or service for a single price, that combined price cannot be less than the sum of the individual posted price for the fuel and the separate price for the other item or service.
