Bill > A3707

This bill mandates that any club, such as a retail, wholesale, or merchandise establishment that sells discounted goods through membership warehouses and online, cannot restrict the sale of motor fuel to only its members if it operates a gasoline station. The legislation declares it to be in the public interest for all individuals, regardless of club membership, to have access to gasoline stations, emphasizing that the convenience and accessibility of fuel for residents and visitors outweigh any benefit to a select group of members. Violators of this provision will face escalating civil penalties, starting at $1,000 for a first offense, up to $10,000 for subsequent violations, with enforcement handled by the Superintendent of the Office of Weights and Measures. The bill defines a "gasoline station" as any business in the state that sells fuel for motor vehicles and directs the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs to create necessary regulations to implement these changes, which will take effect immediately.
