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 initiative 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 introduces new legal language that mandates this disclosure on signage, ensuring that consumers are informed about the additional costs imposed by taxes and fees. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this is a new requirement being added to existing regulations regarding fuel pricing signage.
