N.Y. General Business Law § 396-x: Gasoline stations; air pumps required

* § 396-x. Gasoline stations; air pumps required. 1. Definition. As

used in this section: "dealer" shall mean any person owning or operating

a premise or facility with four or more gas dispensing nozzles for the

retail sale of motor fuels for use in motor vehicles.

2. Any dealer must provide on the premises where motor fuel is sold at

retail for use in motor vehicles a functioning motor driven air

compressor capable of inflating automobile tires for use by customers

during hours in which such station is open for business. Jurisdiction in

all matters pertaining to this subdivision shall be vested exclusively

in the state. Any provision of any local law or ordinance or any rule or

regulation promulgated thereto governing tire inflation operation or

equipment shall upon the effective date of the chapter of the laws of

two thousand twenty that amended this subdivision be preempted. Nothing

in this section shall be construed to restrict a municipality from

enforcing the provisions of this subdivision as it relates to providing

functioning tire inflation equipment as required by the commissioner of

agriculture and markets.

3. Wilful failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall

subject a dealer to a civil penalty of up to twenty-five dollars for

each day such failure occurs. If the failure to comply results from the

breakdown of the air compressor, the failure to repair within a

reasonable time shall constitute wilful conduct.
