NY S04242

Repeals state requirements for the Department of Transportation to establish safety criteria and certify routes for transporting liquefied natural and petroleum gas, replacing them with compliance to federal laws and carrier permits from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Removes references to route certification under section 23-1713 from inspection and enforcement provisions, eliminating state-level route oversight responsibilities.

Removes transportation from the strict liability framework that currently applies to storage and conversion of liquefied natural and petroleum gas, leaving only storage and conversion activities subject to absolute liability.

Eliminates requirements for fire department consultation and training cost analysis specifically related to transportation routes, while maintaining those requirements for storage and conversion facilities.
