ENERGY/PIPELINES: Provides for hazardous material pipeline signage
This bill requires operators of hazardous liquid pipelines in Louisiana to display their emergency contact information on all pipeline signage and line markers. Operators must certify annually that this contact information is accurate and that the provided telephone number is active and manned at all times. The legislation prohibits waivers of these requirements and establishes penalties for non-compliance, including existing fines under R.S. 30:705. These changes directly affect pipeline companies operating in the state and aim to improve emergency response capabilities.
