SB 152
AN ACT CONCERNING ELECTRONIC DELIVERY TICKETS FOR
GASOLINE, KEROSENE, FUEL OILS OR SIMILAR SUBSTANCES.
SUMMARY
This bill allows fuel retailers to provide customers with an electronic
delivery ticket (e-receipt), instead of a paper receipt, when delivering
fuel (e.g., propane or heating oil). For the retailer to use e-receipts, the
retailer and customer must mutually agree to it in writing. Under the
bill, an e-receipt must contain the same information as a paper receipt
(e.g., quantity of fuel delivered) and be provided simultaneously with
delivery, as paper receipts are. As with paper receipts, fuel retailers
must maintain a record of each e-receipt for at least 12 months and
their records are subject to the sealer of weights and measures’
inspection.
The bill generally applies to metered fuel truck deliveries of
gasoline (at least 50 gallons) or kerosene, fuel oils, or similar
substances (at least 5 gallons) sold to create power or heat. But, as is
the case under existing law for the paper receipt requirement, the bill
does not apply to barge, railroad tank car, drum, or slow flow meter
deliveries (CGS 14-329(c)).
The bill also makes minor and technical changes.
