HR 3949 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Propane Accessibility and Regulatory Relief Act
To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to exempt from CFATS regulations certain propane tanks, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to exempt propane tanks with a capacity of up to 126,000 pounds from the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulations. CFATS currently requires certain chemical facilities to implement security measures and report to the Department of Homeland Security. The exemption would relieve smaller propane storage facilities from these regulatory requirements.
