About The Council
The 1997 Florida Legislature passed the Florida Propane Gas Safety, Education and Research Act for the purpose of providing the industry a mechanism for development of projects to benefit Florida's consumers and the propane gas industry. To oversee this project, the Florida Propane Gas Safety, Education and Research Council was established.
Through a regulatory assessment on the industry (currently $.001 per gallon of odorized gas sold in the state), which is collected and managed by the Bureau of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Inspections, the Council develops and implements projects in the areas of safety, education, research and development, and marketing.
The FPGSER Council consists of 15 members from the following groups: 1 citizen/public member; 10 members representing dealers of propane gas (no more than 2 members may be from any one company); 2 members representing producers; and 2 members representing manufacturers and distributors.
