The 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 equipment at their locations, specifying that the sale can be conducted either through a flat rate or a per-gallon fee, both of which must be clearly stated in the rental contract. Additionally, the bill mandates that a qualified dispenser must be used for measuring the fuel, which must comply with various safety and accuracy standards set by federal regulations.
The bill defines several key terms, including "qualified equipment renter," "qualified rental equipment," and "qualified dispenser," providing specific criteria for each. For instance, a qualified equipment renter must derive more than 25% of its annual gross receipts from renting equipment, while qualified rental equipment includes various types of mobile machinery and vehicles. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4679.
