Bill Summary
For legislation relative to adjustments to certain petroleum products. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 28A of Chapter 140D of the General Laws to allow sellers of petroleum products, such as gasoline, to offer discounts to customers who pay with cash, debit card, check, or similar methods instead of credit cards, as long as the discount is available to all potential buyers and clearly advertised. The bill also declares that any existing contract or agreement that prevents retailers or distributors from offering such discounts is invalid because it goes against public policy.
