Oregon self-serve gas will become law next week

SALEM Ore. (KPTV) - Self serve gas pumping is all but a sure thing in
Oregon after Governor Tina Kotek declined to veto the bill on Friday.

Gov. Kotek will allow the legislation to go into effect, thereby
eliminating a 72-year restriction on most drivers pumping their own
gas.

Oregonians may soon be allowed to pump their own gas following the
passing of House Bill 2426.

Kotek did not include House Bill 2426, which would allow Oregon gas
stations to open up to half of their pumps for self-serve gas, in her
list of potential vetoes released Friday, as required by the Oregon
Constitution.

The law will continue to compel gas stations to staff at least half
of their pumps for customers who are unable or unwilling to pump
their own gas.

The bill will go into effect as soon as Kotek signs it, or on August
4 if the governor refuses to sign it.
