An Act To Amend the Laws Dealing with the Posting of Gas Prices
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 10 MRSA §1661-B, sub-§1, as enacted by PL 1989, c. 83, §2, is amended to read:
1. Posting required. A retail seller of fuel to be used by vehicles on public highways shall post the price make clearly visible on each pump the price of the fuel available at that pump , either by posting a sign of no less than 64 square inches and in a manner that is clearly visible to a driver approaching the pump or by a price reading, digital or otherwise, built into the pump, which must reflect the actual price of the fuel pumped. On multi-grade pumps, the posted price shall must be for the lowest priced unleaded regular gasoline. The sign posting should indicate the difference in price for full-service, mini-service and self-service if more than one grade of service is available at that pump.
summary
This bill changes the current law to permit price readings built into the fuel pump as a means by which retail motor fuel sellers fulfill the requirement to make fuel prices visible at the pump.
