Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires sellers of motor vehicle fuel to place locks on each pump capable of reading a credit or debit card. The locks must be unique to the property on which the pumps are located; a key capable of opening a lock on one property may not be capable of opening a lock on another property. A person who violates this requirement is subject to a forfeiture of up to $200.
