12/7/05-A bill that would lower the price of fuel if paying with cash has been “laid on the table,” essentially killing the effort. An identical effort – SB180 – however, is headed to Gov. Jim Doyle’s desk.

10/12/05-A bill passed the Assembly Committee on Transportation Oct. 11 by a 13-0 vote that would lower the price of fuel if paying with cash.
AB398, sponsored by Rep. Jeffrey Wood, R-Chippewa Falls, now moves to the Assembly Committee on Rules.
The bill would eliminate a mandatory surcharge of 3 percent that retailers must charge on every fuel purchase, regardless of the form of payment, in order to provide credit card payment methods at their stores.

An identical Senate bill – SB180 – is in the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Corrections and Privacy.
