3. Specifies that DATCP may promulgate rules to require the certification or registration of persons who install, test, or maintain corrosion prevention systems on storage tanks used to contain flammable or combustible liquids or hazardous substances.

4. Specifies that DATCP may establish fees by rule for fuel quality inspections and investigations.

5. Specifies that upon request of DATCP, the Department of Justice or proper district attorney shall prosecute actions to enforce the storage tank statutes and rules.
