URGING - GAS PRICE ADVERTISING

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

This legislative item, 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 pending BCC Assignment, with an Agenda Date of 7/21/2026. The prime sponsor is Micky Steinberg. No registered lobbyists are listed. The legislative history shows the item was assigned to the County Attorney on 6/16/2026, due back on 6/23/2026. The resolution cites existing Florida Statutes and Administrative Code rules that do not mandate the display of both cash and credit prices when they differ. The Board of County Commissioners is urging this change to allow for better-informed consumer choices, especially during times of financial strain and increased fuel prices. The resolution directs the Clerk of the Board to transmit copies to state officials and directs county lobbyists to advocate for this action.
