Summary –
The bill would require the Department of Agriculture to produce a sticker for display on fuel pumps showing the Federal and State fuel tax rates in cents per gallon. The Department would also calculate companies’ cost per gallon of complying with the Climate Commitment Act using the average cost of allowances in a given year, and would produce another sticker showing that in cents per gallon. The climate commitment stickers would be updated at least every three years, and the fuel tax stickers would be updated whenever there was a change in those tax rates.

Stickers would be mailed to fuel pump owners who requested them, as well as being displayed and updated on pumps in the course of government fuel pump inspections.
