You left out the part above it:
Under the regulations of the Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act, gas station attendants in New Jersey are required to pump gas in a safe manner, and must obey proper procedure while doing so. Gas station attendants may not legally pump gas into an automobile if the vehicle's engine is still running. Attendants may not place fuel into a portable container for a customer unless that container has the ability to be sealed and contains a spout, or some other device, that would prevent the gasoline from spilling while it's being poured. Gas station attendants in New Jersey may not allow a customer to pump their own gas, regardless of how busy the station is, and all attendants must refrain from smoking while pumping a customer's gas.

Which are the additional laws that the station can be fined for, i.e. smoking, allowing people to use unapproved containers, etc.. To be clear , the service station is fined, not the individual, and it's nowhere near $2,000.
