Proposed Oregon bill considers new gas price display rules to protect consumers

Oregon House Bill 3647 requires gas stations to display prices on street signs for consumer protection, addressing complaints about a Woodburn station's pricing practices.
State Rep. Travis Nelson expressed concerns about drivers encountering high gas prices only after reaching the pump, illustrating the issue with a specific station where gas was priced over $6 per gallon.
The bill responds to over 200 complaints filed with the Oregon Department of Justice regarding the Woodburn station's pricing practices since 2016.
Opponents argue that the bill unfairly targets one specific station and may impose significant costs on gas stations statewide, estimated at $50,000 for new signs.
