Senate Bill No. 468, introduced by Senator Seabaugh, aims to amend the regulations surrounding fuel points and discounts in Louisiana. The bill enacts a new provision, R.S. 51:422.1(F), which explicitly states that no law regulating the price of motor fuel shall limit the discounts or the value of fuel points earned by customers through participation in loyalty or fuel rewards programs. This means that customers can redeem their fuel rewards points for discounts on motor fuel without being subject to existing price regulations that would otherwise restrict such transactions.

The proposed law provides an exemption to current regulations that classify selling fuel below the retailer's cost as an unfair trade practice. By allowing discounts through fuel rewards programs, the bill encourages consumer participation in these programs and promotes competition among fuel retailers. The new provisions will take effect on August 1, 2026.
