Bill Summary
For legislation to protect ratepayers from gas pipeline expansion costs. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect ratepayers from the costs of expanding gas pipeline infrastructure. The key provision is that the state Department of Public Utilities is prohibited from approving any contract for the purchase of gas, gas pipeline capacity, or liquefied gas storage where the contract costs would be recoverable from ratepayers, if the contract requires the construction or expansion of interstate gas infrastructure. This is intended to prevent ratepayers from being responsible for the costs of expanding gas pipeline networks.
