Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill H 3541 now specifies that retail motor fuel outlets must display their gasoline prices without including fractional cents. This means that prices will be rounded to the nearest whole cent for advertising purposes. This change helps simplify pricing for consumers, making it clearer when they are filling up their vehicles, and can reduce consumer confusion regarding pricing. It also aims to standardize how prices are advertised across retail outlets in South Carolina.
