AI Summary
This bill aims to protect propane gas ratepayers in Massachusetts. It requires that contracts or agreements for the sale of propane for residential heating be in writing and include an itemized list of all fees, charges, surcharges, or penalties. It also prohibits automatic renewal clauses unless the consumer has the right to terminate the renewal through written notice at least 30 days prior. Additionally, the bill requires propane gas dealers operating in the state to clearly and conspicuously display their daily delivery price for residential heating customers, including on their website if they have one. The provisions of the bill apply to contracts or agreements entered into on or after January 1, 2019, and the bill takes effect on that date.
