The new law, which Gov. Tina Kotek signed last week, allows gas stations in 16 of the state's most populous counties to use up to 50% of their pumps for self-service. The state requires stations to charge the same prices for full-service as self-service. It also requires stations to clearly mark which pumps are for self-service. The House passed the bill in March by a 47-10 margin. The Senate passed it in June by a 16-9 ledger.
Previously, justifications for continuing full-service gas pumping in Oregon have included customer safety and job preservation. But Ian Hill, co-owner of SeQuential Refuel Station, said his station has struggled to meet customer demand amid employee shortages.
