  S 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  AND  MAKE  AVAILABLE  AT  NO  COST  TO

shall  subject  a dealer to a civil penalty of up to [twenty-five] FIFTY
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.
