Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 201 of P.L.1938, c.163 (C.56:6-2) or any other law, rule or regulation to the contrary, during the existence of a state of energy emergency, as declared by the Governor pursuant to section 15 of P.L.1977, c.146 (C.52:27F-17), when a retail dealer exhausts his supply of the lowest grade motor fuel, that dealer may sell any remaining supply of higher octane motor fuel at the same price per gallon or liter as the price the dealer charged for a gallon or liter of the lowest grade motor fuel.

STATEMENT
Under the provisions of section 15 of P.L.1977, c.146 (C.52:27F-17), the Governor is authorized to proclaim by Executive Order a state of energy emergency upon a finding that there exists an energy supply shortage of a dimension which endangers the public health, safety or welfare. This bill provides that when a retail motor fuel dealer exhausts the supply of his lowest grade motor fuel during a state of energy emergency that dealer may sell any remaining supply of higher octane motor fuel at the same price per gallon or liter as the price the dealer charged for a gallon or liter of the lowest grade motor fuel.
