MEMORANDUM

Posted: October 7, 2014 11:08 AM
From: Representative Tina M. Davis
To: All House members
Subject: Legislation Providing for the Regulation of Propane Tanks on Mobile Food Vehicles
 
In the near future, I will be introducing legislation that would provide for the regulation of propane tanks on mobile food vehicles.

As you may know, two people recently died of injuries sustained when a propane tank on a mobile food vehicle explosion in Philadelphia. After this tragic event, I learned that while three state agencies have some oversight of mobile food vehicles, no agency is specifically responsible for inspecting propane tanks on theses vehicles. With that said, I believe we must do all we can to prevent another incident like the one that occurred in Philadelphia from ever happening again.

The legislation that I will be introducing would provide for various propane-related safety measures, including a requirement that propane tanks on mobile food vehicles be inspected by propane professionals and a requirement that employees on these vehicles be properly trained in the use of propane tanks.

Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation.
