An act relating to requiring gas stations and convenience stores to provide notice to customers of holds on payment at the point of sale

This bill requires gas stations and convenience stores in Vermont to inform customers before placing a hold on their credit or debit card for an amount larger than the actual gasoline purchase. The law mandates that this notice must be clear and displayed near the payment area before the customer completes their transaction. It applies to both the store itself and any third parties who might place these holds on card accounts. The measure aims to improve transparency for consumers by ensuring they are aware of potential temporary holds on their funds before buying fuel.
