Section 13470.1.
-
(a) No person shall sell at retail to the general public any motor vehicle fuel from any place of business in this state unless such person shall post and maintain in legible form the maximum lawful selling price of each type and grade of gasoline. The maximum lawful selling price shall be posted on each pump used to dispense gasoline at retail outlets in numbers not less than 1/2 inch high facing each direction from which the pumps are generally viewed by customers. The posting of the actual selling price is not considered to be the posting of the maximum lawful selling price as required by this paragraph. Whenever an adjustment is made to the maximum lawful selling price, each retail seller must post the new adjusted maximum lawful selling price, and remove the prior posted price.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "maximum lawful selling price" means the maximum lawful selling price as defined under the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act, 15 USC 751 et seq., and any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.
(c) Enforcement by the Division of Measurement Standards and each county sealer of weights and measures may consist of referring complaints and information regarding possible violations to the appropriate federal agency.
