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 understand how much of the price is attributable to taxes and fees.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that mandates this disclosure on fuel price signage. The intent behind this legislation is to inform consumers more comprehensively about the costs they incur when purchasing gasoline or diesel fuel, thereby promoting informed decision-making at the pump.
