FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
955 (Relating to charges for sales of motor vehicle fuel
involving certain means of payment; providing a criminal
penalty.) this office has determined the following:

The bill would prohibit persons who sell motor vehicle fuel at
retail from charging different prices for fuel based on whether
the customer uses cash or credit cards.   The bill would also
provide penalties.


No significant fiscal implication to the State or units of local
government is anticipated.
