     Sec. F-1. 32 MRSA §14805, sub-§2, as enacted by PL 1995, c. 389, §4, is amended to read:

     2. Inspection. State propane and natural gas inspectors, upon written complaint or whenever they consider it necessary for purposes of examination, may enter into and upon and inspect all buildings, dispensing stations and premises within their jurisdiction at all reasonable hours. They may enter a building, dispensing station or other premises within their jurisdiction only with the permission of the person having control of the building, dispensing station or other premises or, after hearing, upon order of court. If an inspector finds any propane or natural gas installation that does not comply with this Act, the inspector shall order that the installation be removed or remedied, and that order must be complied with immediately by the owner or occupant of the building, dispensing station or other premises or building or by the installer of the propane or natural gas equipment in violation. If the inspector finds any propane or natural gas installation in any building, dispensing station or structure on premises within the inspector's jurisdiction that creates a danger to other property or to the public, the inspector may forbid the use of the building, dispensing station or structure on premises within the inspector's jurisdiction by serving a written order upon the owner and the occupant, if any, to vacate within a reasonable period of time to be stated in the order.

Effective September 17, 2005.
