Current through June 25, 2024
A. These Rules and
				Regulations are promulgated by the Mississippi State Liquefied Compressed Gas
				Board (LC Gas Board), and approved by the Mississippi Commissioner of
				Insurance, in accordance with authority granted in Sections
				75-57-3,
				75-57-101
				and
				75-57-105
				of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended.
B. The purpose of these Rules and Regulations
				is to prevent the loss of life and property from fire and other related
				hazards. Specifically, this regulation shall further enforce and establish the
				"Leak Checks" procedures originally set forth in Mississippi Department of
				Insurance Bulletin No. 2010-4. Mississippi Code section
				75-57-9
				specifically adopts by reference certain national codes related to liquefied
				compressed gas safety, including but not limited to the National Fire
				Protection Association Code, Pamphlet 54 (NFPA-54). NFPA-54 provides for the
				performance of leak checks on new or interrupted service, and gives
				instructions/guidance as to how such leak checks are to be performed. This
				Regulation is to remind permit holders of the requirement that these checks be
				performed, and delineate the acceptable methods by which said checks must be
				completed.
C. This regulation will
				clarify the procedures for the issuance, expiration and renewal for permits
				approved by the LC Gas Board, in order to ensure the financial responsibility
				requirements in Mississippi Code section
				75-57-49
				are continuously maintained as a condition of any permit issued or
				renewed.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 19 - Department of Insurance › Part 7 - State Fire Marshal › Chapter 14 - Rules and Regulations for Licensed Compressed Gas Installation and Repair: Leak Check Procedures and Requirements; Permitting Procedures › Rule 19-7-14.02 - Definitions

Current through June 25, 2024
A. The definitions contained in Miss. Code
				§
									75-57-5
				are adopted and ratified for use in this regulation.
B. For the purposes of this Regulation, a new
				customer includes any propane system that is new to the propane service
				provider, any existing system previously served by another propane service
				provider, and any customer returning to a service provider after being served
				by another propane service provider.
C. An interruption of service to a propane
				system means any time any part of the system has a loss of pressure, for
				example, when a line is replaced, an appliance is repaired, or a new appliance
				is installed. All "out of gas" situations are interruptions of service. An out
				of gas situation occurs both when a tank is completely out of gas, or when the
				pressure becomes so low that appliances, heaters, etc., cannot operate and/or
				shut off, even though there may technically be some gas in the tank.

Current through June 25, 2024
A. Leak Checks
				shall be performed on any interruption of service to an existing system or
				first time service of a new customer.
B. Any method used for performing a leak
				check should be sufficient to actually find a leak if one exists. Suggested
				methods for performing a Leak Check include the proper use of lights, the use
				of a gas meter, and checks performed not using a gas meter, as set forth in
				NFPA-54.
C. Leak Checks performed
				in occupied dwellings shall include an interior inspection of the propane
				system and appliances, and the reigniting pilots and appliances to assure
				proper operation of appliances.
D.
				In the event that a leak is detected in a system, which will not be immediately
				repaired, then a "lockout" of the system shall be implemented at the service
				valve until the necessary repairs may be completed for the safe operation of
				the system. Lockout shall be required regardless of whether the system
				components are owned by the propane provider or the customer.
E. Documentation of Leak Checks, including
				the items checked and the results of the check shall be kept on file at the
				branch or office serving the customer and must be made available to Mississippi
				LC Gas Inspectors upon request. It is recommended that the customer or customer
				representative, who is at least 18 years old, be present at the time the leak
				check is performed, and that the customer or customer representative sign the
				leak check documentation.

Current through June 25, 2024
The Mississippi Legislature in 2019 passed the Mississippi
				  First Responders Health and Safety Act ("Act") which establishes a mechanism
				  for the state, counties, municipalities or fire protection districts to provide
				  monetary benefits to first responders stricken by an occupational-related
				  cancer. In an effort to fund this program, the Mississippi First Responders
				  Health and Safety Trust Fund ("Fund") was created by the Legislature in order
				  to assist the state, municipalities, counties and fire protection districts
				  with providing benefits required under the Act, with the Commissioner of
				  Insurance administering this Fund. As the program becomes effective on January
				  1, 2024, this Regulation has been promulgated to provide guidance to the state,
				  counties, municipalities, and fire protection districts in filing claims on
				  behalf of eligible first responders for these monetary
				  benefits.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 19 - Department of Insurance › Part 7 - State Fire Marshal › Chapter 15 - First Responder Health and Safety Act Claims Procedures › Rule 19-7-15.02 - Program Description

Current through June 25, 2024
First responders face a significantly higher risk of
				  developing cancer due to exposure to carcinogens encountered in the line of
				  duty. The connection between occupational cancer and firefighting is
				  well-established. Smoke from the average house fire contains more than 140
				  hazardous chemicals, including carcinogens like arsenic and benzene. The
				  program established under the Act provides benefits to first responders that
				  are diagnosed with certain occupational related cancers as an alternative to
				  workers compensation. If a first responder files for workers' compensation due
				  to the occupational cancer, they waive eligibility under this
				  program.

Current through June 25, 2024

				  required by the state, county, municipality or fire protection district for
				  whom he or she works to have his or her condition reevaluated to determine if
				  that first responder has regained the ability to perform the duties of a first
				  responder. If that reevaluation indicates that the first responder has regained
				  the ability to perform the duties of a first responder, then the monthly
				  disability benefits shall cease on the last day of the month the reevaluation
				  was conducted. If there is no reevaluation performed, but the first responder's
				  treating physician determines that the first responder is again able to perform
				  the duties of a first responder, then the disability benefits shall cease on
				  the last day of the month that the physician made the
				  determination.

				  protection district is required to provide proof of insurance coverage that
				  meets the requirements of the Act, or shall show satisfactory proof of the

				  ("Fund") was created by the Legislature in order to assist these entities with
				  providing the benefits required under the Act, with the Commissioner of
				  Insurance administering this Fund. However, while the state, municipalities,
				  counties and fire protections districts may access these funds, they are not
				  required to do so and may choose to provide funding for these benefits by using
				  an alternative method.
Instead of using the Funds as administered by the
				  Commissioner of Insurance, the state or any municipality, county or fire
				  protection district may provide alternative methods to provide coverage that
				  meets the requirements of the Act. If the state or any municipality, county or
				  fire protection district decides to use another method to provide the required
				  benefits, they must submit the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" to the
				  Commissioner of Insurance by January 1, 2024, and by January
				  1st of each year thereafter, of their continued
