Yes, I see where the gas company document says that.
However, I pulled up the actual CPUC General Order 112-E,
which they use as their basis:

It's not that long and little of it actually applies to residential
gas systems. And I don't see anything in there that says what the gas
company claims.

Is it unheard of to put another valve on the house side of the meter?
Seems like that would keep everyone happy. I put a valve just before the
line enters the house, but that's about 300 yards from the meter. So, I
can work on stuff inside, but if the line breaks (again) between the
meter and the house, I'd have to go to the gas company owned valve.
