Bill > S0366

This bill amends the Gas Safety Law of 1967 to increase the civil penalty amount for violating the law from $25,000 to $266,015 per violation per day, with a maximum penalty of $2,660,135 for any related series of violations, until June 30, 2025. After that date, the Florida Public Service Commission must establish and periodically revise the maximum penalties by rule, considering factors such as the Consumer Price Index, federal pipeline safety penalties, and the need to maintain the Commission's certification with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The bill also authorizes the Commission to adopt rules to implement these changes.
