Introduced

SB 182 - This act exempts persons who only sell liquefied petroleum gas in containers having a capacity of 50 pounds or less that have been filled by another person to be registered with the Department of Agriculture from the registration requirements of Section 323.060.

Under this act, persons registered to sell liquefied petroleum gas must demonstrate financial responsibility for compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage caused by the release of liquefied petroleum gas. The minimum amount of financial responsibility shall be $1,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of $2,000,000. The person may demonstrate insurance either by self insurance if an independent audit shows that the person has a net worth of $10,000,000. The person may also demonstrate financial responsibility by obtaining liability insurance issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in Missouri. A person cannot engage in the business of selling liquefied petroleum gas until proof of financial responsibility is filed with the Department of Agriculture.
