House Bill No. by Representative Coates amends R.S. 40:1849(B) concerning permits for trucks transporting liquefied petroleum gas in Louisiana. The bill increases the annual registration fee for tanker trucks with a water capacity of one thousand gallons or more. Specifically, it deletes the previous fee of fifty dollars and introduces a new fee structure: from August 1, 2025, until July 31, 2030, the fee will be up to one hundred dollars, and thereafter, it will increase to up to one hundred fifty dollars.

Additionally, the bill mandates that no tanker truck can transport liquefied petroleum gas unless it is registered with the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Commission and has a valid registration decal affixed to the vehicle. This decal must be prominently displayed as per the commission's regulations, and dealers are prohibited from delivering liquefied petroleum gas from vehicles lacking a current registration decal.
