Committee approves moving changes to convenience-store rules and ATM camera requirement

May 18, 2026

The committee advanced amendments that carve 'small-box discount stores' out of some signage rules and let convenience stores place ATMs closer to doors/windows if a working camera is provided; staff cited data showing many ATM thefts come from the rear of stores.

The full story

Staff described a two-part proposal for convenience stores and small-box discount retailers: (1) a narrow exception to signage requirements for chains that meet a "small box discount store" definition (primarily retail of convenience goods, under 10,000 sq. ft., without a pharmacy or gasoline), and (2) a change to ATM placement and surveillance requirements.
