Prohibits the misrepresentation or collection of certain fees related to the delivery, usage, and storage of liquefied petroleum
This bill prohibits LPG sellers from charging certain fees related to delivery, usage, or storage. It bans excessive "special usage fees" (unless properly disclosed and justified), fees for undelivered gas, termination fees exceeding actual labor costs, and tank rental fees after service ends. Sellers must clearly describe all fees on customer bills and provide rebates for gas resold after removal. The bill also prevents consumers from bearing costs for compliance with government regulations, ensuring these expenses don’t increase customer bills.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to streamline the legislative process by removing a subdivision regarding attorney general enforcement and renumbering the remaining fee restrictions. Additionally, the text was updated to use the correct spelling of 'liquefied' instead of 'liquified' throughout the document.
Scope change
The scope of the bill's substantive requirements was reduced by removing the provision that gave the attorney general jurisdiction to enforce the new fee rules.
ENFORCEMENT
Removed Subdivision 14, which previously granted the attorney general the authority to enforce the new fee restrictions.
REQUIREMENT
Reduced the number of new fee restrictions from five to four by removing the provision about rebates for removed gas.
Updated Subdivision 13 to reference the new Subdivisions 10 and 11 instead of the old numbering.
TECHNICAL
Corrected the spelling of 'liquefied petroleum gas' from 'liquified' in multiple locations.
