New York S04296 mandates gas stations to provide assistance to disabled drivers at self-service islands.

New York S04296 amends the general business law to require gas stations with self-service islands to install a device for disabled drivers to signal for assistance. The device must be mounted between 34 and 48 inches from the ground. A sign must be posted identifying the call device and the hours of availability. The law applies to stations operated by one cashier and remote control equipment. Owners of one station must comply within one year, while owners of multiple stations must ensure at least 50% are compliant within one year, with full compliance required within three years.
