Bill Summary

Relative to a cap on gas delivery fees by gas companies. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 1F of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws by requiring gas companies and natural gas providers operating in the Commonwealth to cap their gas delivery fees at $0.80 per thermal unit of measure, as defined in section 111 of the same law. The provision aims to help low-income individuals by limiting the cost of gas delivery, which can be a significant expense for households struggling with energy costs. By establishing a maximum rate for gas delivery fees, the bill seeks to provide some financial relief to consumers and make natural gas more affordable for residents of Massachusetts. The bill represents an effort by the state legislature to regulate utility pricing and protect consumers from potentially excessive delivery charges.
