Bill > SB320

This bill adds a new section to Alabama's legal code (Section 9-17-111) that prohibits businesses with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, commonly known as propane) permits from filling or storing propane cylinders within 3,000 feet of the boundary line of properties that host schools, churches, hospitals, athletic fields, or other public gathering places. The law would become effective on October 1, 2025, and appears designed to enhance public safety by creating a significant buffer zone between propane storage/filling locations and areas with high concentrations of people. By establishing this substantial distance requirement, the bill aims to reduce potential risks associated with propane storage, such as potential gas leaks or fire hazards, near locations where large groups of people might congregate or where vulnerable populations like children or patients might be present.
