HD 1213 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act establishing fuel price transparency

HD 1213 requires Massachusetts gas stations to clearly display all prices for the same fuel grade based on payment method (e.g., cash vs. credit) on both physical signs and advertisements. It mandates that every price per gallon for a specific fuel grade must be shown equally sized and presented in a similar format, eliminating hidden price differences. This law directly affects retail fuel dealers by changing how they must display pricing information to customers. The key provision ensures transparency by preventing businesses from showing only the lower price (e.g., cash) while omitting higher prices for other payment methods.
