A legislator in Missouri is hoping to give drivers advance notice of rising fuel prices at gas stations under a bill filed for the 2012 session. If lawmakers approve the measure, fuel distributors would be required to notify retailers of any increase of 3 cents or more at least 24 hours in advance of the increase being implemented.
The bill would require retailers to post the price in “a location visible to the general public from at least one adjacent public roadway for 24 hours before the increase is implemented. Rep. Ray Weter, R-Nixa, said he decided to act after watching significant price increases in his district. The bill can be considered when lawmakers meet for the regular session January 4, 2012.
