AN ACT relating to motor vehicle fuel; establishing certain 
requirements for the labeling of pumps and dispensers for 
motor vehicle fuel at a motor vehicle fuel dispensing site; 
requiring certain types of motor vehicle fuel to be 
identified and labeled in a certain manner; revising 
requirements relating to the advertisement of prices of 
motor vehicle fuel; revising certain requirements relating 
to the letters, words, figures and numerals used on an 
advertising medium for motor vehicle fuel; repealing 
requirements for certain letters and numerals used on 
advertising mediums; providing penalties; and providing 
other matters properly relating thereto. 
Legislative Counsel’s Digest: 
 Existing law sets forth certain requirements for the advertisement of motor 1 
vehicle fuel and petroleum products. (NRS 590.160-590.330) Section 2 of this bill 2 
requires the owner or operator of a motor vehicle fuel dispensing site to ensure that 3 
each pump or dispenser is labeled with certain information. Section 2 also requires 4 
the owner or operator to post a sign or label containing certain information at a 5 
motor vehicle dispensing site that is unattended.  6 
 Section 3 of this bill requires, with certain exceptions, an advertising medium, 7 
pump or dispenser for ethanol flex fuel, biodiesel or a biodiesel blend to: (1) 8 
identify the fuels in a certain manner; and (2) be labeled with the automotive fuel 9 
rating in accordance with the requirements of federal law.  10   
 	– 2 – 
 
 
- 	*AB29* 
 Section 4 of this bill applies the definitions in existing law governing motor 11 
vehicle fuel to the provisions of sections 2 and 3. 12 
 Existing law requires advertising mediums for motor vehicle fuel to display the 13 
actual price per unit of measure of motor vehicle fuel, including taxes, together 14 
with the brand name and the individual grade or grades of motor vehicle fuel being 15 
advertised. (NRS 590.170) Section 5 of this bill requires an advertising medium 16 
that advertises motor vehicle fuel prices using gallons to display the same total 17 
price per gallon on the advertising medium and the pump or dispenser. Section 5 18 
requires that, if the price of the fuel: (1) increases from the advertised price, the 19 
price on the advertising medium must be changed before or at the same time the 20 
price is changed on the pump or dispenser; and (2) decreases from the advertised 21 
price, the price on the pump or dispenser must be changed before or at the same 22 
time the price is changed on the advertising medium. 23 
 Section 5 also requires any roadside sign that advertises or displays the price of 24 
motor vehicle fuel but is not connected to a pump or dispenser for motor vehicle 25 
fuel to state certain information relating to the price and unit of measure of the fuel.  26 
 Existing law authorizes the advertisement of the price of diesel fuel excluding 27 
state tax if the sign contains certain wording in a size not less than 4 inches in 28 
height. (NRS 590.170) Section 5 instead requires that the wording be not less than 29 
one-third of the height of the numerals used to indicate the price of the diesel fuel.  30 
 Existing law requires that all letters, words, figures or numerals used on an 31 
advertising medium to indicate the price of motor vehicle fuel be uniform in size, at 32 
least 6 inches in height and the height not more than twice the width. (NRS 33 
590.180, 590.200) Section 6 of this bill removes a reference to this requirement, 34 
but does not eliminate the requirement. Section 7 of this bill clarifies that if a 35 
fraction is used on a price sign to indicate the price of motor vehicle fuel, the 36 
combined height of the numerator and denominator must be of the same height and 37 
design as the other numerals indicating price. 38 
 Existing law requires that if the price of a brand name or grade of motor vehicle 39 
fuel is advertised by means of a price sign and is sold at different prices, the sign or 40 
signs advertising the prices must include notice of the conditions under which the 41 
brand name or grade is sold. (NRS 590.230) Section 8 of this bill requires that if a 42 
brand or grade of motor vehicle fuel is sold at different prices based on whether a 43 
customer meets a condition, the price must be available to all customers who meet 44 
the condition. Section 8 also provides that if a sign or signs advertises different 45 
prices based on: (1) whether the fuel is purchased with cash or credit, the sign or 46 
signs must state both the cash and credit price or the highest of either the cash or 47 
credit price; (2) whether the grade of fuel is alcohol-free, the sign or signs may state 48 
the lowest of the two prices; and (3) a customer loyalty program or similar 49 
program, the sign or signs must state both the highest price that may be charged if a 50 
customer does not qualify and the discounted price or may state only the highest 51 
price. 52 
 Existing law requires that all letters, words, figures or numerals used on an 53 
advertising medium be plainly visible and of such colors or tints to contrast with 54 
the remaining parts of the advertising medium. (NRS 590.260) Section 9 of this bill 55 
additionally requires that the letters, words, figures or numerals appearing on an 56 
electronic sign meet such requirements and be clearly visible during the day and at 57 
night. 58 
 Section 10 of this bill reorganizes requirements that certain words, letters, 59 
figures or numerals on advertising medium be of like color or tint. 60 
 Sections 11 and 12 of this bill make the civil and criminal penalties of the 61 
existing law governing the advertisement of motor vehicle fuel and petroleum 62 
products apply to a person who violates the provisions of sections 2 and 3.  63   
 	– 3 – 
 
 
- 	*AB29* 
 Section 13 of this bill repeals an exemption for the numeral “1” and the letter 64 
“l” from certain advertising requirements for motor vehicle fuel and petroleum 65 
products. 66
