As of Oct. 1, signs at service stations in Maryland must display the credit and debit price of regular gasoline if they differ.
“It took SEVEN YEARS, but we finally passed “Gas Price Clarity” in Maryland! It goes into effect TODAY. Contact our Comptroller if you see a violation” State Sen. Cheryl Kagan wrote on Facebook.
“It’s time to finally end the consumer rip off of advertising one price and charging a higher one . I’m thrilled that we have joined the other states in outlawing this practice,” Kagan told MCM.
The Gas Price Gauging Act was signed by Gov. Wes Moore in May 2023.
The sign must display the cost of paying by credit if the cash price is lower. Signage at the retail stores that dispense gas must include the different prices “in numerals of equal size.”
