Bill Summary
For legislation to prohibit companies from charging ratepayers for the construction or expansion of interstate gas infrastructure. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit companies from charging ratepayers (customers) for the construction or expansion of interstate gas infrastructure, such as gas pipelines. It would amend existing Massachusetts law (Section 94A of Chapter 164 of the General Laws) to prevent the state's Department of Public Utilities from approving any contract for the purchase of gas, gas pipeline capacity, or liquefied gas storage if the contract costs would be recovered from ratepayers and would require construction or expansion of interstate gas infrastructure.
