HB386 Alabama 2015 Session

Under existing law, liquefied petroleum gas containers may be filled only by the owner or upon authorization of the owner. Under existing law, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board inspects all liquefied petroleum gas containers, but the owner of a liquefied petroleum gas container is responsible for ensuring its suitability for continued use and is subject to criminal penalties for violating a directive of the board to discontinue use

This bill would delete the requirement that the container be filled by the owner or with the authorization of the owner. This bill would also delete the language specifying that the owner of the container is responsible for ensuring its suitability for continued use. This bill would retain language providing for inspections by the board and authorizing criminal penalties for failure to follow a directive of the board

To amend Section 9-17-109, Code of Alabama 1975, relating to liquefied petroleum gas containers; to delete the requirement that the container be filled by the owner or with the authorization of the owner and the requirement that the owner of the container is responsible for ensuring its suitability for continued use.
