Bill > A3105

Introduced Session

This bill allows the act of pumping one's own gas when a consumer voluntarily chooses to do so. The bill requires gasoline stations with more than four dispensers to continue to offer full-service gasoline between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., provided that the station is open to the public during those hours. The bill also stipulates that a gasoline station may offer a discount to customers who purchase motor fuel of like grade and quality that is dispensed by self-service at the station, provided that the motor fuel shall not be sold at a price which is below the net cost of that motor fuel to the gasoline station plus all selling expenses. Furthermore, the bill states that a gasoline station shall provide service by an attendant in the dispensing of every grade of fuel offered at self-service at no additional charge, if requested to do so by a person with a disability who is operating a motor vehicle bearing a placard or wheelchair symbol license plate. The bill also provides that gasoline stations offering only self-service gasoline shall provide assistance to motorists with a disability at the self-service price. In order to enhance access for motorists, the bill gives gasoline stations the option of either outfitting at least one dispenser with a special call button or outfitting every dispenser with a sign listing a phone number that can be used to alert an employee of the gasoline station that assistance is needed. Consistent with federal law, the bill provides that a gasoline station is not required to provide refueling assistance when there is only one employee present.
