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 specifies that such sales can occur through either a flat rate or surcharge stated in a rental contract, or 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 equipment rental location," which refers to a site that sells less than 3,000 gallons of motor fuel annually to renters, and "qualified rental equipment," which encompasses various types of mobile equipment powered by motor fuel. The legislation aims to clarify the conditions under which motor fuel can be sold in conjunction with equipment rentals, ensuring compliance with safety and measurement standards. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4679.
