(b) Provision of reasonable and adequate service to those persons using liquefied petroleum gases; and

(1) Respond to inquiries and complaints from persons who use liquefied petroleum gas;
(2) Assist persons who use liquefied petroleum gas in obtaining liquefied petroleum gas in an emergency; and
(3) Facilitate the resolution of disputes between licensees and their customers.
The provisions of this paragraph do not impose a duty upon the Board to provide financial assistance to any person.
(b) Provide for the hearing and mediation of complaints filed by persons who use liquefied petroleum gas. Any such hearing must be open to the public, recorded on tape and prior notice thereof must be mailed by the Board to any person who requests to receive notice of such hearings.
(c) Require each licensee to disclose uniformly information which the Board determines is necessary to disseminate to the licensees’ customers and prospective customers.
