Sec. 1.
Every person dealing in previously used or previously used and
reclaimed, re-refined, recleaned or reconditioned lubricating oils, lubricants
or mixtures of lubricants shall at all times have each and every container
or item of equipment in or through which any of such products are sold,
kept for sale, displayed or dispensed plainly labeled in lettering as large
as any other lettering thereon and in any event in letters of not less than
one-half inch in height showing that the contents thereof is a previously
used product; provided that, upon the promulgation of labeling standards
applicable to recycled oil by the Federal Trade Commission as prescribed
pursuant to Title V, Section 383 of the federal "Energy Policy and Conservation
Act" (P.L. 94-163), the labeling requirements provided in this Section shall
no longer be in effect and the State labeling standards shall be those promulgated

displayed or circulated any advertising matter offering for sale any previously
used or previously used and reclaimed, re-refined, recleaned or reconditioned
lubricating oils, lubricants or mixtures of lubricants, not shown to be
substantially equivalent to new oil intended for an identical end use under
test procedures promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission as prescribed
under Title V, Section 383 of the federal "Energy Policy and Conservation
Act" (P.L. 94-163), shall state in such advertising in letters at least
as large as any other lettering therein the fact that such products have
been previously used. Any person violating any provision of this act shall
be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
