The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 148, aims to amend current statutes to require that any signage advertising the price of gasoline or diesel fuel must include a disclosure of the nature and amount of each tax or government-mandated fee associated with the fuel. This change is intended to enhance transparency for consumers regarding the total cost of fuel, allowing them to better understand the breakdown of prices they are paying at the pump.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that mandates the disclosure of taxes and fees on fuel price signage. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that consumers are fully informed about the costs they incur when purchasing gasoline or diesel fuel.
