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 the sale of motor fuel, which must comply with relevant safety regulations and include specific components such as a dispensing hose, venting system, and a volumetric flow meter.
The bill also 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, and "qualified rental equipment," which encompasses various types of mobile equipment powered by motor fuel. The definitions ensure clarity regarding the types of businesses and equipment that fall under this new regulation. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4679.
