ACTION ALERT
July 20, 2010
Issue: Urge Governor Paterson to sign A.629/S.2752 in to law!
Action: Call Governor Paterson at (518) 474-8390 and urge him to sign into law A.629/S.2752, a bill that would require self-serve gas stations to pump gas for people with disabilities who have a parking permit for handicapped persons.
Background: A.629 (Paulin) /S.2752 (Johnson) changes the general business law, which requires self-serve gas stations to pump gas for people with disabilities that have handicapped license plates, to also include people with disabilities with a valid parking permit for handicapped persons. This addition is necessary as gas stations have been interpreting the bill literally and refusing to pump gas for individuals with hang tag handicapped parking permits. This bill was delivered to Governor Paterson yesterday for signature.
