Court reinstates Wisconsin minimum markup law
Published September 3, 2010 - BizTimes Daily
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today reinstated Wisconsin’s minimum markup law on gasoline.
The court in Chicago ruled in favor of the Wisconsin Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association, which had argued that mom-and-pop gas station owners would be driven out of business by larger competitors if the law was struck down, according to The Associated Press.
The law requires stations to sell gas above their cost, thereby discouraging large-volume gas station chains from undercutting smaller operators.
A federal judge had ruled last year that the law was unconstitutional and conflicted with federal antitrust law. That decision was overturned today.
