HB 504 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

FUELS/LIQ PETROLEUM GAS: Increases the tanker truck registration fee applicable to certain trucks transporting liquefied petroleum gas (EN +$90,000 SG RV See Note)

HB 504 increases the registration fee for tanker trucks transporting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The bill sets the fee at $100 per year from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2030, after which it will rise to $150 annually. This change directly affects commercial trucking companies and operators that transport LPG in tanker vehicles, as they must pay the updated registration fee. The bill modifies the existing fee structure without changing the core requirement for LPG tanker registration.
