Summary
Idaho's Liquefied Petroleum Gas Public Safety Act makes it unlawful to store, sell, transport, or install propane and LP-gas without a license from the state, which licenses facilities and inspects their equipment.
It shall be unlawful for any person to practice or to offer to engage in any practice governed by this chapter, or display a sign or in any other way advertise or represent oneself as a person who engages in such practices, unless duly licensed in accordance with this chapter.
Full Breakdown
Title 54, Chapter 53 of the Idaho Code, the Idaho Liquefied Petroleum Gas Public Safety Act, governs propane statewide. Section 54-5304 bars anyone from engaging in an LP-gas practice unless licensed under the chapter, and section 54-5308 requires a separate facility license covering equipment, with inspections and fees. The Idaho Liquefied Petroleum Gas Safety Board, administered through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), sets storage and handling rules by adopting the NFPA 58 LP-Gas Code. Operating without a valid, current license is a misdemeanor under section 54-5316.
Violations & Penalties
Practicing as an LP-gas dealer or operating an LP-gas facility without a valid, unsuspended license is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $1,000, up to six months in jail, or both.
