The bill HB2573 amends existing Arizona law regarding the labeling of use fuel dispensers. It reduces the civil penalty for failing to affix a required use fuel label from $100 per day to a one-time penalty of $100. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) must provide these labels only to vendors who comply with specific record retention requirements, rather than providing them in bulk to all vendors.

Under the current law, vendors are subject to a daily penalty for non-compliance, which could accumulate significantly over time. The new bill aims to simplify the penalty structure and ensure that only compliant vendors receive the necessary labels, potentially reducing the administrative burden on both the vendors and ADOT. The changes are intended to enhance compliance while maintaining the requirement for proper labeling of fuel dispensers.
