Governor Mike Parson signed Executive Order 22-08 to waive section 323.030 and 2 CSR 90-10.019 to allow registered Missouri liquefied petroleum gas companies to fill containers previously owned by Gygr-Gas on Thursday, December 15, 2022. Gygr-Gas has reportedly ceased all business operations and is no longer serving its customers, leaving several thousand Missourians across 42 counties without propane service to their Gygr-Gas owned propane containers.

Gygr-Gas has been unresponsive to customers for months. Missouri law prohibits anyone other than the tank owner of a propane tank from filling it without the owner’s permission. This is a national safety standard designed to protect the integrity of the tank and piping.

Executive Order 22-08 allows other entities to fill the liquefied gas containers in Missouri owned by Gygr-Gas only. It does not apply to liquefied natural gas containers currently serviced by any other company.

The Missouri Propane Safety Commission has been following the Gygr-Gas developments and may move to suspend the company’s registration.
