Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
New pump labels and price postings
Each pump must show the price, grade, and octane. The highest price must be visible before a customer starts, and any discount rules must be posted. Pumps must carry federal fuel labels, and gasoline must show ethanol or other oxygenate content using the required wording. If a pump takes both cash and credit, it must say how debit is treated and show the highest unit price plus the discount or surcharge rate. Required labels go on the top half of the front panel and must stay clean and easy to read. If a pump is unattended, the owner’s name, address, and phone must be posted.
Stronger penalties for fuel labeling violations
The State Sealer sets civil fines for breaking the fuel labeling and pricing rules. Willful violations escalate: first a warning; second a misdemeanor with a $1,000–$5,000 fine; a third or later is a gross misdemeanor; more than three convictions in two years can be a category E felony. The law also repeals an older section (NRS 590.250) as part of this overhaul.
Clearer gas price signs and ads
Fuel signs and pumps must show the total, tax‑included price per unit, plus brand and grade. When prices change, the sign and pump must be updated at the same time. If prices vary by cash, credit, or loyalty, signs must show the highest price and the discounted or surcharge price, with big, clear words like “cash,” “self‑serve,” and “full‑serve.” Diesel prices can be shown without state tax only if the sign and pump clearly say “With State Permit.” Roadside signs must be easy to read day and night with contrasting colors, display the right units and any fractions of a cent, and use uniform price numbers at least 6 inches tall.
Clear labels for alternative fuels
Ads, pumps, and dispensers must use standard names like “Ethanol Flex Fuel,” “Biodiesel (B100/B99),” or “Biodiesel Blend.” Pumps that sell flex fuel or biodiesel must post the automotive fuel rating under federal rules. Diesel with 5% biodiesel or less, sold as diesel, is exempt from biodiesel labels. The law expands which products count as alternative fuel, including methanol blends, E‑85/E‑100, LP gas, natural gas, hydrogen, electricity, biodiesel with at least 5% blend stock, ethanol‑diesel with at least 5% ethanol, and renewable diesel with at least 20% blend stock. The State Board of Agriculture may approve different names by regulation.
