Liquified petroleum gas; filling, storing cylinders within certain distance of gathering places prohibited

SB 320 prohibits permittees of Alabama's Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board from filling or storing LP-Gas cylinders for retail sale within 3,000 feet of schools, churches, hospitals, athletic fields, or other public gathering places. This directly affects gas suppliers and retailers holding permits under Alabama's LP-Gas regulations. The key provision establishes a 3,000-foot buffer zone around these locations to limit cylinder storage and filling operations. The law will take effect on October 1, 2025, and is intended to enhance consumer safety near high-occupancy areas.
