This bill amends the Weights and Measures Act of 1964, specifically section 28e, to establish new regulations for the sale of motor fuel at roadside retail locations in Michigan. Key provisions include requirements for clear and complete price postings, including fractional prices to the tenth of a cent, and the inclusion of fuel grade designations using specified abbreviations. Additionally, if the advertised price is conditional, those conditions must be displayed prominently. The bill also mandates that if multiple prices for the same grade of fuel exist, the highest price must be displayed in the largest lettering.
Furthermore, the bill prohibits the use of dynamic pricing for motor fuel sales, which is defined as a pricing system that adjusts based on external conditions. It requires businesses to maintain records of price changes for at least 12 months and establishes that violations of the dynamic pricing prohibition will be considered violations of the Michigan Consumer Protection Act. The bill includes a provision that it will only take effect if Senate Bill No. 993 is enacted into law.
