North Dakota Century Code Title 23. Health and Safety § 23-13-02.3. Requirements for the operation of self-service motor fuel dispensing facilities

1. All laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations now applicable for sale and dispensing of motor fuels shall, to the extent applicable, apply to the operation of self-service motor fuel dispensing facilities.

2. At all times during the operation of a self-service motor fuel dispensing facility, the owner, operator, employee, or authorized attendant shall be on the premises and shall supervise the operation thereof. The person attending the operation shall refuse service to anyone who appears for any reason to be unable to dispense motor fuel safely. If, however, the filling station provides pump island service to its customers, the attendant must provide refueling services to any mobility-impaired person stopped at a self-service motor fuel dispensing unit who requests assistance and whose vehicle displays a certificate issued under section 39-01-15. No additional cost may be charged to a mobility-impaired person because of the service. This subsection does not apply to any self-service motor fuel dispensing unit equipped with a card-operated, credit card-operated, or key-operated dispensing device. Self-service motor fuel dispensing units equipped with a card-operated, credit card-operated, or key-operated dispensing device are subject to and must conform with the emergency controls, emergency contact, and fire control standards as specified by the national fire protection association. In addition, the operating instructions, warning signs, and emergency instructions specified in the standards of the national fire protection association must be conspicuously posted in the dispensing area.

3. Persons dispensing motor fuel from self-service motor fuel dispensing units shall be a qualified operator of a motor vehicle under North Dakota law. Permanent signs shall be posted on all self-service motor fuel dispensing units prohibiting their operation except by a qualified operator of a motor vehicle under North Dakota law.

4. Operating instructions for the use of self-service motor fuel dispensing units shall be conspicuously posted in the dispensing area.
