§ 22-11-15-1 — Intent

It is the intent of the general assembly to
protect the public welfare and promote safety in the filling and use of
pressure vessels containing liquefied petroleum gases by implementing
both the interstate commerce commission regulations, within the state
of Indiana, and the national standards of safety on the filling of these
containers. It is necessary to insure that containers properly constructed
and tested are used, and that a liquefied petroleum gas of suitable and
safe vapor pressure be placed in these containers. Therefore, the filling
or refilling of liquefied petroleum gas containers by other than the
owner or authorized person must be controlled and specific authority
to prevent violation and encourage enforcement should be established.
As added by Acts 1979, P.L.232, SEC.1.
