A person may not install, construct or otherwise establish an aboveground flammable liquid storage facility or a retail motor fuel facility dispensing flammable liquids to the public without a permit. The commissioner shall issue a permit to a person who:

This amendment replaces the bill, which required that a person obtain a permit from the Commissioner of Public Safety before installing, constructing or establishing any flammable liquid dispensing facility, and instead applies to a retail motor fuel facility dispensing flammable liquids. These requirements do not apply to the dispensing of propane and natural gas, which is regulated by the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation.
