7-8-2. Safety evaluation procedures; legislative intent; effect of violation.

On or before July 1, 1994, with respect to all existing installed remote service terminals in this state, and any remote service terminals installed after July 1, 1993, the operator shall adopt procedures for evaluating the safety of the remote service terminals. These procedures shall include a consideration of the following:#

1. (1)

   The extent to which the lighting for the remote service terminal complies or will comply with applicable standards;#

2. (2)

   The presence of landscaping, vegetation, or other obstructions in the area of the remote service terminal, the access area, and the defined parking area; and#

3. (3)

   The incidence of crimes of violence in the immediate neighborhood of the remote service terminal as reflected in the records of the local law enforcement agency and of which the operator has actual knowledge.#

It is not the intent of the General Assembly in enacting this chapter to impose a duty to relocate or modify remote service terminals upon the occurrence of any particular events or circumstances, but rather to establish a standard of good faith for the evaluation of all remote service terminals as provided in this chapter. A violation of the provisions of this chapter or any regulation made pursuant thereto will not constitute negligence per se.#
