URGING - GAS PRICE ADVERTISING

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

This legislative matter, File Number 261106, is a resolution urging the Florida Legislature and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to amend statutes or regulations to require retail gas stations to conspicuously display both cash and credit price options for motor fuel on all signage. The resolution was introduced on 6/16/2026 and is scheduled for an Agenda Date of 7/21/2026, with Agenda Item Number 11A12. Micky Steinberg is the prime sponsor. The resolution cites the continued reliance on automobiles, the practice of gas stations charging different prices for cash and credit sales, and the lack of current statutory or regulatory requirements for displaying both prices on all signage. The intent is to allow consumers to make better-informed choices, especially during times of financial strain and increased fuel prices. The Board directs the Clerk to transmit the resolution to state officials and directs county lobbyists to advocate for the proposed changes.
