HB 391 has just passed in the Energy and Utility Sub-Committee. Jeff Clemens is the co-sponsor of the Bill.
Essentially the Bill requires retail service stations that charge different prices ( cash sales & credit sales) of motor fuel to display the highest price on their signage that draws the consumer to their gas station. If it passes in the State Affairs committee, it will go on to the entire House within two weeks and be law by July 1.
Jeff Clemens (D - Palm Beach) says, "Many stations are not making it clear what the actual price is going to be," a practice he believes is deceptive to consumers just to get them in the door. "That's why I have introduced a bill that requires stations to post the higher price instead."
How about we hold government over runs to the same standard!
