This bill would prohibit the initiation of a transaction that would result in a preauthorization hold in connection with the sale or offer for sale of any petroleum product for use in motor vehicles or motor boats unless the retailer posts written notice of the preauthorization hold in a conspicuous manner at the place where payment is accepted. The Commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection would set by rule the information in the notice and manner in which the notice must be displayed.
