2007 Wisconsin Act 203 sets new requirements for licensing of suppliers of liquefied petroleum gas and sets new notification requirements. The act also provides for a statewide communications system for location of some gas tanks and transmission facilities.  See an analysis of 2007 Senate Bill 273, PDF file.  See 2007 Wisconsin Act 203, PDF file


Changes to Comm 2, Fee Code, and Comm 5, Licenses, Registrations, and Certifications Code, were adopted by the Department of Commerce and will be effective December 1, 2008.  The changes will increase service fees in the S&B Gas Systems Program for the first time since 2000.
