This bill amends Minnesota transportation laws by requiring the display of gas tax information on sales receipts for gasoline and diesel fuel purchases. Specifically, it mandates that retailers provide a sales receipt that includes the current state and federal gasoline tax rates, ensuring transparency for consumers. Additionally, the bill stipulates that signs detailing the gas tax must be affixed to retail petroleum dispensers, with provisions for updating these signs if tax rates change. The effective date for this requirement is set for January 1, 2027.

Furthermore, the bill removes the indexed increases to the motor fuels tax, which previously allowed for annual adjustments based on the Minnesota Highway Construction Cost Index. This change simplifies the tax structure by establishing fixed rates for various fuel types without the potential for annual increases. The effective date for this section is July 1, 2026. Overall, the bill aims to enhance consumer awareness regarding fuel taxes while stabilizing tax rates for motor fuels.
