[Introduced February 19, 2009; referred to the Committee on the

____________
A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by
adding thereto a new section, designated §29-3-16d, relating
to requiring the installation, maintenance or service of fuel
gas systems in one- or two-family dwellings according to the
State Fire Code and the rules promulgated thereunder if such
installation is performed by any persons other than the owner
or occupant of a single-family dwelling.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended
by adding thereto a new section, designated §29-3-16d, to read as
follows:
ARTICLE 3. FIRE PREVENTION & CONTROL ACT.
§29-3-16d. Performance of Installation of Propane Gas Systems.
(a) Notwithstanding any statutory or regulatory provisions to
the contrary, any person who installs, fuels, maintains or services any fuel gas system to a one or two family dwelling shall comply
with this article and the rules promulgated under this article
relating to fuel gas systems.
(b) This section does not apply to any person who performs
such work on a single family dwelling owned or leased, and occupied
by that person. The personal exemption provided in this subsection
is the same as the personal exemption provided in the Supervision
of Fire Protection Work Act, §29-3D-1, et seq., (2007), in
particular §29-3D-3(c)(1).
NOTE: This bill shall require any person who installs, fuels,
maintains or services any fuel gas system to a one or two family
dwelling to comply with this article and the rules promulgated
under this article relating to fuel gas systems, excluding any
person who performs such work on a single family dwelling owned or
leased, and occupied by that person.
§29-3-16d is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring
have been omitted.
