AB 29 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to motor vehicle fuel. (BDR 51-271)

AB 29 updates Nevada's rules for advertising motor vehicle fuel prices and labeling at gas stations. It requires fuel dispensers to display clear labels about ethanol content (e.g., "May contain up to 10% ethanol" for low-blend gasoline), show consistent prices between digital signs and pumps, and disclose conditions for discounted prices (like cash vs. credit). The law also mandates that all pricing information be plainly visible day and night, including specific formatting for electronic displays. This bill directly affects gas station owners and operators, who must comply with these updated advertising standards, and it became law after passing the legislature and receiving the governor's approval on June 3, 2025.

MODERATE
This bill updates Nevada's laws regarding motor vehicle fuel by adding specific labeling requirements for ethanol and biodiesel pumps, clarifying how fuel prices must be advertised and updated on signs versus pumps, and removing outdated exemptions for certain letters and numbers in advertisements.
Scope change
The bill expands applicability to require specific labeling for ethanol flex fuel, biodiesel, and biodiesel blends on pumps and advertising mediums, while also extending penalty provisions to cover violations of these new labeling rules.
REQUIREMENT

Requires pumps and dispensers for ethanol flex fuel, biodiesel, or biodiesel blends to be clearly identified and labeled with federal automotive fuel ratings.

Updates price advertising rules to require that roadside signs and pumps display the same total price per gallon, with specific timing rules for when prices must change on each.

Clarifies that if a fuel brand is sold at different prices based on payment method (cash vs. credit) or loyalty status, signs must display both prices or the highest price.

TECHNICAL

Repeals an old exemption that allowed the numeral '1' and the letter 'l' to be used differently in fuel advertisements.

ENFORCEMENT

Extends existing civil and criminal penalties to apply to violations of the new labeling requirements for alternative fuels.
