AI Summary
This bill requires all retail gasoline stations in the state to be equipped with alternative power generation devices, such as generators, that can be used to resume the sale of motor fuel within 24 hours of a declared state of emergency and power outage. The bill also requires regular inspections by the Division of Standards to ensure compliance, and imposes civil penalties on stations that fail to comply. The bill provides an exception if the failure to use the alternative power is due to physical damage to the station or the power generation device during the emergency.
