HB 2105 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

technical correction; petroleum product storage

HB 2105 corrects the language in Arizona law about storing petroleum products to clarify that containers or tanks previously holding different petroleum products must be emptied and relabeled before reuse. This affects businesses storing or selling fuel, such as gas stations and distributors, ensuring they properly identify product types to prevent contamination. The bill updates Section 44-1244 of Arizona Revised Statutes without changing the core requirement, only making the rule clearer. It is a technical correction, not a new policy.
