Bill > A06147

This bill requires gas stations in Nassau County, New York to equip their gasoline and diesel fuel dispensing nozzles with hold-open clips to allow for hands-free refueling. The bill defines "hold-open clip" as a small metal lever within the gas pump handle that allows the nozzle to continue pumping without the individual having to manually and continuously hold the pump handle. The bill also sets safety standards for the use of these hands-free nozzles, including requiring attendant employees to be familiar with the location and operation of the station's emergency fuel shut-off switch.
