commercial driver license examiners; notice

(NOW: use fuel dispenser labels; receipt)

Purpose

Requires use fuel dispenser labels to be provided to vendors that submit receipts from one fueling position for each use fuel type and, if applicable, one in-store point of sale system.

Background

According to standards established by the Weights and Measurers Services Division of the Arizona Department of Agriculture, a vendor must label use fuel dispensers to notify the purchaser of the state use fuel tax rate, which is 18 cents per gallon for light class motor vehicles and 26 cents per gallon for use class motor vehicles, and post: 1) a sign on each use fuel dispenser that indicates that the price of the use fuel includes the applicable federal and state taxes; 2) both use fuel tax rates, if light class and use class vehicles may fuel from the same dispenser; and 3) any limitations on selling use fuel to light class or use class vehicles or prohibitions on light class or use class vehicles dispensing fuel from a specific dispenser.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) must provide use fuel dispenser labels to vendors (A.R.S. § 28-5605). A vendor includes a person who sells use fuel in Arizona and places the fuel, or causes the fuel to be placed, into any receptacle on a motor vehicle from which fuel is supplied for propulsion, including a service station dealer, broker and user who sells use fuel to others. A use class motor vehicle is a road tractor, truck tractor, truck or passenger-carrying vehicle having a declared gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds or more than two axles that uses use fuel on a state highway (A.R.S. § 28-5601).

                  There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
