We're Proud of What WAAA Has Accomplished...
• Creation of the Fair Dealership Act •
Wisconsin’s Franchise Law is regarded as the "toughest" on franchisors in the entire nation. Your rights as a franchisee are protected because of WAAA’s efforts.
• Passage of the Survivorship Law •
Your ability to transfer your motor fuel dealership to a family member in the event of your death or disability was a result of WAAA’s lobbying efforts.Without WAAA, PECFA would not be law in Wisconsin. Without PEFCA, you would have had to deal with clean-up and pay for it out of your own pocket!
• Establishment of Motor Fuel Shrinkage Allowance •
WAAA successfully lobbied to provide all service station owners who pay motor fuel taxes to be reimbursed and repaid .5% of the tax to cover shrinkage and evaporation costs. WAAA’s efforts kept .5% of all taxes in your pockets!
• Changes in the Minimum Mark-Up Law •
WAAA has worked successfully in the past year to require all motor fuel operations to price their product fairly. This law protects your operation against cutthroat prices which could put you out of business.
• Creation of Stage II Vapor Recovery Grant Program •
WAAA was the force behind the creation of a grant program to pay 90% of the cost of retrofitting pumps to meet Federal EPA standards. Because of WAAA, gasoline dealers in southeast Wisconsin were not left holding the bag.Through WAAA’s efforts, the state requirements regarding the recycling of freon and other refrigerants were adopted to benefit WAAA members.
• Freon and Other Refrigerant Recycling Requirements •
• Creation of Petroleum Environmental Clean-Up Fund •
