Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same,
as follows:
Chapter 94 of the General Laws is hereby amended by
striking out
section 295C, as appearing in the 2000 Official Edition, and inserting in
place
thereof the following section:-
Section 295C. A retail dealer of motor fuel shall publicly display and
maintain
on each pump or other dispensing device from which motor fuel is sold by him,
at
least 1 sign, clearly visible, stating the price per gallon of each grade of
motor
fuel sold from the pump or device. A sign shall be not less than 8 inches by
10
inches in size. The price shown on a sign shall include all taxes imposed with
respect to the manufacture or sale of the motor fuel sold at that pump or
device
and shall contain either a statement of the taxes included in the price or,
without specifying the amount of the taxes, shall state that such taxes are
included in the price. All figures, including fractions, on a sign, other than
figures and fractions used in a price computing mechanism and constituting a part
of a pump or dispensing device, shall be the same size.
No sign, advertising material or other display or product that is placed upon,
above or around a pump or dispenser shall directly or indirectly obscure the posted
price sign as required by the preceding paragraph.
