The bill modifies the definition of 'average wholesale price' for liquid fuels in Pennsylvania by setting a minimum price of $2.99 per gallon and removing the prior mechanism for determining it.

  • 75 Pa.C.S. § 9002

    [as determined by the Department of Revenue for the 12-month period ending on the September 30 immediately prior to January 1 of the year for which the rate is to be set. In no case shall the average wholesale price be less than] → $2.99 per gallon.

    The bill eliminates the previous formula for calculating the average wholesale price, ensuring it cannot be set below $2.99.
