Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Stronger fines for fuel sign violations

Willful violations escalate: first offense is a warning; a second offense is a misdemeanor with a $1,000–$5,000 fine; a third is a gross misdemeanor. More than three convictions in two years is a category E felony under state law. These penalties apply to persons and to officers, agents, or employees who act willfully. The State Sealer will set a civil‑penalty schedule by rule, and violators can face those civil fines in addition to criminal penalties. The law also repeals NRS 590.250.

Clear fuel labels at every pump

Station owners must post the price, grade, and octane (if shown) for each fuel on every pump. Pumps must show any discount conditions and the highest price before a discount. Gasoline labels must disclose ethanol or other oxygenates: “May contain up to 10% ethanol” for E10, and follow federal labels for fuels over 10% up to 15% ethanol. Ethanol flex fuel and biodiesel need clear labels (for example, “Ethanol Flex Fuel,” “B100,” or “Biodiesel Blend”) and must show the automotive fuel rating per federal rules. Blends with 5% biodiesel or less are exempt from biodiesel labeling. All required labels must be on the top half of the pump front, clean, and easy to see. Unattended sites must post the owner’s name, address, and phone. The State Board of Agriculture may approve different label wording by regulation.

Transparent fuel price signs and conditions

Any price you advertise must show the total price per unit, with all taxes, plus the brand and grade. If you use a unit other than a gallon, the pump must show the total price per unit, the price per gallon, and the unit name; if per gallon, the same total price must appear on the pump. If price varies by payment or loyalty, signs must state the condition and show both cash and credit prices or the highest price; if showing only a cash highest price, add “cash” in large letters. Diesel prices may exclude state tax only if the sign says “With Permit” (letters at least one‑third the height of the numbers); dispensers showing a permit price must say “Permit Price” or “With State Permit” in letters at least 1 inch high. Keep signs and pumps synchronized: update the sign before or with a price increase at the pump, and the pump before or with a price decrease on the sign. Price numbers must be uniform and at least 6 inches tall; signs must use contrasting colors, and electronic signs must be readable day and night. Use like colors within brand, price, and grade elements; “self-serve” and “full-serve” letters must be at least 4 inches high.
