HB 2047 -- Motor Fuel Training and Equipment

Sponsor:  Jones (89)

This bill requires the Board of Trustees of the Petroleum Storage
Tank Insurance Fund by rule, in collaboration with the
departments of Natural Resources and Agriculture and affected
private citizens, to create, fund, and maintain an underground
storage tank operator program that satisfies at a minimum the
federal training requirements for the program.  The program must
be offered at no cost to required participants, and the board is
required to only meet the requirements of the bill after holding
a public hearing and determining by a vote that state action is
required.

The Department of Agriculture must disregard the manufacturer's
expiration date, if any, and must instead continue to require the
replacement of motor fuel measuring devices and dispensing
equipment only when it fails inspection.  The expiration date
must not impose any new or additional liability on motor fuel
retailers or wholesalers.

Any modification to the way motor fuel is measured or dispensed
in a retail sale is prohibited by state rule or the automatic
adoption of national standards or rules unless the modification
is specifically authorized and mandated by state law.
