This bill amends the Weights and Measures Act of 1964 by adding a new section, 28g, which outlines the regulations for the sale of motor fuel by qualified equipment renters. It allows these renters to sell motor fuel to individuals renting qualified rental equipment for the purpose of filling or refilling a motor fuel storage tank. The sale can be conducted either through a flat rate or surcharge stated in the rental contract, or through a per-gallon fee measured by a qualified dispenser. The bill also mandates that the qualified dispenser must comply with applicable regulations from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Additionally, the bill defines several key terms, including "qualified dispenser," "qualified equipment rental location," and "qualified rental equipment." A qualified dispenser is specified as a container for motor fuel storage that meets certain safety and measurement standards. The bill also outlines the criteria for what constitutes a qualified equipment renter and the types of equipment that can be rented. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4679.
