Bill Summary

Relative to the proper bonding and grounding of CSST

AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to require home inspectors to describe the presence of any yellow corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) flexible gas piping observed during an inspection, and to notify the buyer that the manufacturers believe the product is safer if properly bonded and grounded, as required by the manufacturer's installation instructions. The bill also defines "bonding" and "grounding" in the context of CSST, and clarifies that proper bonding and grounding can only be determined by a licensed electrical contractor.
