7/26/10-The Subcommittee on the Production and Use of Energy agreed to seek a bill that would require certain service stations to check the air pressure of vehicles. The issue can be brought up during the 2011 regular session.
Repair shops and businesses that do oil changes or break service would be responsible for checking the air pressure in their customers’ tires.
According to a U.S. Government Accountability Office  report from 2007, more than 25 percent of cars and nearly 33 percent of SUVs, vans and pickups have one or more tires underinflated 8 pounds per square inch. Air pressure loss under normal driving conditions is 1 to 2 pounds of pressure per month.
