URGING - GAS PRICE ADVERTISING

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

This legislative item 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 an agenda item number of 11A12. The prime sponsor is Micky Steinberg. The County Attorney's office was assigned the item on 6/16/2026 and it was due back on 6/23/2026. No registered lobbyists are listed. The resolution cites existing Florida Statutes (526.121 and 531.44) and Florida Administrative Code (Rule 5J-21.004) but notes they do not currently mandate the display of both cash and credit prices on all signage when they differ. The stated purpose 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.
