Lou, the law changed just this spring. There are several reasons for the law change, biggest is the fact that our current gov. has some common sense and isnt in some huge corporations pocket like the last one was. Other reasons are, the product is pretty safe and used in different applications where its vented directally to the atmosphere with very little harm. Even states that are beyond strict, maybe even beyond wacko on enviromental issues allows the same use WI now does. Before the law changed, WI was the only one restricting small can sales to the public (Walker refuses to be in the pocket of big business like Doyle loved). The sale of R-134a is big business in WI (and other states), preventing its sale was costing huge amounts of lost tax revenue. Preventing the sale of R-134a was also greatly impacting the enviroment because people that needed it ended up driving great distances to get it. The enviromental impact of driving to other states to get R-134a is huge. Its unbelievable to think the greenies thought it was better to waste hundreds and hundreds of miles worth of fuel under the guise that it was "saving the enviroment". I wont even get into the carbon footprint of earning the wages to pay for all that fuel or the bootleg R-134a, or worst of all, being forced to pay a dealership hundreds or thousands to do what you can do in an hour or so for $20.
Here is an article showing when the new law went into effect allowing the sale of small cans of R-134a. It also talks about the economic impact of the lost money to the state under the old law. Heck, just sales tax alone that is now allowed to be collected on the R-134a is unreal, counted in the millions. http://www.bizjournals.com/prnewswire/press_releases/2012/04/10/DC85205
