SF 5185 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Display of gas tax requirement on sales receipt

This bill requires gas stations in Minnesota to display the specific amount of state and federal gas tax included in fuel prices on both pump signs and sales receipts. Starting in January 2027, retailers must show these tax figures in at least 11-point font, and the state will provide updated signs if tax rates change within the next 12 months. The legislation also removes a provision that automatically increased gas taxes based on construction costs, instead setting fixed rates for regular gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuels effective July 2026. These changes directly affect consumers by increasing price transparency and impact fuel retailers by mandating specific labeling practices.
