New York A03792 mandates gas stations to maintain backup generators for operating gas pumps during power outages.

New York A03792 amends the general business law by requiring every retail gas station in the state to maintain a backup generator. This generator must be capable of operating all gas pumps for at least 48 hours if the station loses its main electricity supply. A "retail gas station" is defined as a filling station where gasoline is primarily stored for sale and delivery directly into motor vehicle or vessel fuel tanks. The act will take effect 180 days after it becomes law.
