Motor Fuel Retailing Issues
        
Halt Unregulated, Untaxed Sales of Motor Fuel
In fairness to legitimate, licensed New York retailers who, under penalty of law, collect and remit state and local taxes on motor fuel sales, the State of New York must continue to pursue all available legislative, administrative, and legal avenues to impose the same requirements on Native American retailers.

Toughen the Penalties for Gasoline "Drive-Off" Thefts

Higher gasoline prices have increased the incidence of motorists filling their tanks and driving off without paying. It's dangerous to other motorists and it costs retailers thousands of dollars a year in lost sales. To deter such thefts, NYACS supports legislation to make the penalty more severe – suspension of the perpetrator's driver's license. Many states across the country have already taken this step.

Oppose Further Marketing Restrictions on Retailers
Already strangled by excessive marketing restrictions, the convenience store industry, working collectively through NYACS, will continue to oppose new regulations such as discriminatory beer/gas hours restrictions.
