This bill establishes regulations for motor vehicle rental companies regarding the charges they can impose on renters for refueling vehicles upon return. Specifically, it mandates that rental companies can only charge renters for the amount of gasoline necessary to return the fuel tank to the level it was at when the renter took possession of the vehicle. Additionally, the bill caps the maximum charge for refueling at 125 percent of the weekly retail gasoline price published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration for the relevant region. It also requires rental companies to disclose the method of calculating refueling costs and the applicable rate before renting a vehicle.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that rental companies must provide renters with a detailed receipt that includes the amount of gasoline purchased, the per-gallon price charged, and the total amount billed for refueling. To ensure compliance, rental companies are required to maintain electronic records of fuel levels before and after rentals, the amount of gasoline purchased for refueling, and the per-gallon price charged for one year. Violations of these provisions are classified as unlawful practices under the consumer fraud act, subjecting offenders to monetary penalties, cease and desist orders, and potential punitive damages.
