sHB 6614
AN ACT CONCERNING DEBIT CARDS AND CASH DISCOUNTS
FOR GASOLINE PURCHASES.
SUMMARY
Current law requires gas station operators who offer a discount for
paying cash for motor boat or vehicle fuel to post a sign specifying how
debit card transactions will be processed (i.e., as cash or credit card), if
the sign is required by state regulations. This bill eliminates the
contingency that the sign be posted only if required by state regulations,
thus requiring it to be posted anytime an operator offers a discount for
paying in cash.
