Courts Uphold Maryland Gas Station Law Restricting Prices
The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 1 that states may ban oil companies from operating retail gas stations and impose wholesale pricing limits without halting interstate commerce. Maryland law requires across the board price cuts and may force the shutdown or leasing of about 250 Maryland stations within a year. The decision upholds state authority to curb producer control during shortages and could shift retail pricing dynamics nationwide.
