Bill Summary

For legislation relative to the taxation of natural gas infrastructure. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 59 of the General Laws to state that any conduits, wires, and pipes that extend above ground and are used to compress, transport, or directly assist with the compression or transportation of natural gas will not be exempt from taxation of the corporations or limited liability companies described in this section. This change aims to subject natural gas infrastructure components to taxation, rather than exempting them, as part of the state's revenue-generating efforts.
