URGING - GAS PRICE ADVERTISING

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

This legislative matter 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 acknowledges that while alternative transportation is growing, automobiles remain ubiquitous and require motor fuel. It notes that current Florida Statutes and Administrative Code rules do not mandate the display of both cash and credit prices when they differ, hindering informed consumer choices. The Board of County Commissioners passed this resolution to promote transparency in motor fuel pricing, especially during times of financial strain and high fuel prices. The County's state lobbyists are directed to advocate for this change.
