Gas stations and businesses with retail motor fuel dispensers are licensed and inspected for device accuracy, safety, functionality, and proper consumer information. All devices must comply with NIST Handbook 44.

Credit card skimmers are still a problem. We watch for illegal activity as part of the yearly licensing of gas pumps in the City of Madison. Every owner or operator shall secure the gas pump(s) electronic and payment processing area(s) under their control or ownership by installing a lock(s) that is unique to the pump(s) under their control.
