What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a state or municipal weights and measures inspector or sealer,

when inspecting a gas pump, to place a sticker on the pump that shows the federal

and state gas tax rates per gallon of gas. The bill requires the Department of

Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to develop a sticker for this purpose and

to distribute stickers to all state and municipal weights and measures inspectors and

sealers who inspect gas pumps. DATCP is also required to update and redistribute

the stickers when the federal or state gas tax rate changes.
