House Bill No. by Representative Coates proposes an amendment to R.S. 40:1849(B) concerning the registration fees for tanker trucks transporting liquefied petroleum gas in Louisiana. The bill specifically increases the annual registration fee from the current amount of $50 to a new range of up to $150. This change aims to ensure that all tanker trucks with a water capacity of 1,000 gallons or more are properly registered with the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Commission before they can transport liquefied petroleum gas, including anhydrous ammonia.

The bill emphasizes the importance of compliance with registration requirements, stating that no dealer may deliver liquefied petroleum gas from any transport vehicle that does not have a current registration decal permanently affixed. This amendment is part of a broader effort to regulate the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas and enhance safety measures within the industry.
