1995 - 1996 LEGISLATURE
March 13, 1995 - Introduced by Representatives Duff, Skindrud, Goetsch, Albers,
Brandemuehl, Ainsworth, Hahn, Ott and F. Lasee, cosponsored by Senators

AB184,1,2
1An Act to amend 98.245 (4) (a) of the statutes;
relating to: measurement of
2liquid petroleum gas.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, when a person sells liquid petroleum (LP) gas to a consumer
by liquid volume, the person is generally required to state the volume of LP gas sold
in terms of the volume that the LP gas would occupy at a temperature of 60 degrees
Fahrenheit. The person makes the volume correction using a volume correction table
or a temperature compensating meter. This requirement does not apply to sales of
less than 100 gallons of LP gas made directly to mobile fuel tanks.
This bill eliminates the exemption of sales of small quantities of LP gas to
mobile fuel tanks from the requirement for volume correction.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB184, s. 1
3Section

8automatic compensating mechanism. All sale tickets shall show the delivered
9gallons, the temperature at the time of delivery and the corrected gallonage, or shall
