HCS SCS SB 182 -- LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASES

Currently, registered liquefied petroleum gas retailers are
exempt from liability for actual or punitive damages for any
injuries caused by the installation, modification, repair, or
servicing of equipment and appliances which use liquefied
petroleum gas.  This bill adds to the exemption from liability
persons who only sell liquefied petroleum gas in approved
containers having a capacity of 50 pounds of propane or less that
have been filled by another registered person.

Every person registered in Missouri pursuant to Chapter 323,
RSMo, is required to demonstrate financial responsibility for
compensating third parties for bodily injury and property damage
caused by the release of liquefied petroleum gas.  Financial
responsibility may be demonstrated either by self insurance or by
obtaining liability insurance in the required amounts of $1
million per occurrence with an annual aggregate of $2 million.
The provisions of this section become effective January 1, 2006.
