A State Representative from Erie County is introducing a bill to ban “price gouging” at the gas pump.
Representative Ryan Bizzarro’s bill would ban gas price increases within 24 hours of a previous increase and allow the Governor to declare a 30 day emergency preventing oil companies and gas retailers to sell or offer to sell petroleum products or heating fuel for “an amount that represents an unconscionably excessive price.”
The bill is expected to be killed by the Republican-led state House.
