GOV. MALLOY SIGNS ORDER ALLOWING PROPANE TANKS TO BE FILLED BY ALTERNATE DISTRIBUTORS

(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy today signed Executive Order 27 which will allow any propane supplier to respond to a request to fill a propane tank irrespective of whether they are the owner of the tank. This order will particularly help those who lease their propane tank from their supplier, because under normal conditions, only the owner of the propane tank may respond to these requests.

"Right now, people who heat their homes or cook with propane need the flexibility to get their tanks filled - it's that simple," said Governor Malloy. "With temperatures dropping, we absolutely must provide residents who use propane with a way to meet their fuel needs."
