HB 344 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Business Regulation - Sale of Motor Fuel - Pricing Signage

HB 344 requires Maryland gas stations to clearly display the standard price (without conditions) for motor fuel more prominently than any conditional price (e.g., membership discounts or payment method requirements). It mandates that all price signs must be at least 8 inches high, show both credit/debit and cash prices if different, and avoid fractional cent displays that could confuse customers. The bill directly affects all retail service stations selling gasoline or diesel in Maryland, requiring them to comply with these signage rules or face penalties assessed by the Comptroller. It also specifies that sign suppliers must provide new signs at no cost to gas stations. The law supersedes conflicting local signage rules.
