AN ACT CONCERNING EL ECTRONIC DELIVERY TI CKETS FOR
GASOLINE, KEROSENE, FUEL OILS OR SIMILAR SUBSTANCES
SUMMARY: This act allows fuel retailers to provide customers with an
electronic delivery ticket (“e-receipt”), instead of a paper receipt, when delivering
fuel (e.g., gasoline, propane, or heating oil). For the retailer to use e-receipts, the
retailer, or its agent, and customer must mutually agree to it in writing.
Under the act, an e-receipt must contain the same information as a paper
receipt (e.g., quantity of fuel delivered) and be provided within two business days
after the delivery. (Customers receive paper receipts simultaneously with
delivery.) As with paper receipts, 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 act generally applies to metered fuel truck deliveries of gasoline (at least
50 gallons) or kerosene, fuel oils, or similar substances (at least five gallons) sold
to create power or heat. But, as is the case for paper receipts, the act does not
apply to barge, railroad tank car, drum, or slow flow meter deliveries (CGS § 14-
329(c)).
The act also makes minor, technical, and conforming changes.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2021
