SB 2949: Relating to the regulation of certain facilities and operators engaged in the motor fuel transport or export business; requiring an occupational license; authorizing a fee; creating criminal offenses; authorizing a civil penalty.

It mandates that transporters carry these documents during transit and present them to officials upon request.
