AI Summary
This bill requires self-service gasoline pumps to display an additional blue decal, at least 15 square inches, showing the international symbol of accessibility, the station's phone number, and the words "Call for Assistance," with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS) responsible for enforcing this and confirming compliance by July 1, 2016. This new requirement preempts, meaning it overrides, any local government laws or regulations concerning fueling assistance for drivers with disabilities at self-service stations. Additionally, the bill clarifies that retail outlets are not obligated to provide air or vacuum services for free, and any local ordinances related to the pricing of these services are preempted by state law.
