HB 316 creates a second-degree felony offense for tampering with motor fuel metering devices or unattended payment terminals. The bill makes it illegal to interfere with, alter, or manipulate fuel meters and unattended payment devices, to possess or sell devices used for tampering, or to knowingly benefit from such tampering. Exemptions are provided for authorized technicians and law enforcement personnel. HB 316 also amends the Penal Code to include tampering with motor fuel devices as an act that can be prosecuted as organized criminal activity.
