A release from Coleman's office states that most complaints are fuel-related, including gasoline, kerosene, and propane.
With the Commonwealth under a continued state of emergency due to recent winter storms, Attorney Coleman is reminding Kentuckians that the Attorney General’s Price Gouging Hotline remains open.
Kentuckians who suspect price gouging should report it online or call 1-888-432-9257.
Kentucky law defines price gouging as a grossly excessive charge of more than 10% above the price prior to the emergency declaration, unrelated to higher costs to the seller.
Goods and services covered by Kentucky’s price gouging law include food, gasoline, natural gas, heating oil, shelter, transportation, emergency cleanup, and repair or reconstruction services like tree removal.
