Description

Filling, refilling, or otherwise delivering liquefied petroleum gas during a qualifying emergency. Provides that when a qualifying emergency, as defined in the bill, is in effect, a residential customer who can demonstrate that he has less than a 24-hour supply of petroleum gas in his liquefied petroleum gas container shall make a good faith effort to procure delivery of liquefied petroleum gas from the owner of the container. If the owner is unable to fulfill the customer's good faith request within 24 hours, the bill allows the customer to have an emergency supplier fill, refill, or otherwise deliver liquefied petroleum gas into the customer's container. Under current law, it is a Class 3 misdemeanor for any person except the owner or other person authorized by the owner to fill or refill a liquefied petroleum gas container with liquefied petroleum gas.
