Assembly Bill 689 mandates the creation of a sticker to be displayed on gas pumps in Wisconsin, indicating the federal and state gas tax rates per gallon for both gasoline and diesel fuel. The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is tasked with producing these stickers, which must be at least 3.5 inches on each side, and distributing them to state and municipal weights and measures inspectors and sealers. The bill also requires that these stickers be updated and redistributed whenever there is a change in the federal or state gas tax rates.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that inspectors and sealers must place the sticker on the gas pump during their inspections, ensuring it is displayed clearly and prominently for consumers. Importantly, the bill includes a provision that protects owners or operators of gas pumps from liability regarding the affixing or maintenance of the sticker. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
