S 1047 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Motorist Fueling Choice and Convenience Act."

This bill amends New Jersey's fuel dispensing law to change how gas stations operate. It requires stations with more than four dispensers to offer full-service (staffed) fuel between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. when open, while allowing stations to choose full-service, self-service, or a mix. It also mandates that stations offering only self-service must provide free refueling assistance for customers with disabilities upon request, or install specific accessibility devices (like calling systems or visible "Call for Assistance" decals). Violations carry fines up to $500 per offense, with penalty funds going to a dedicated safety account. The bill directly affects gas station operators and customers, particularly those with disabilities.
