Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the sale of natural gas as a motor fuel. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to regulate the sale of natural gas as a motor fuel in Massachusetts. It establishes that natural gas sold for use in vehicles shall be considered a "special fuel" subject to the regulations of Chapter 64E. The bill requires gas companies that sell compressed or liquefied natural gas for vehicle use to maintain separate records and accounts, and ensures that such sales do not impact the availability or cost of natural gas for other customers. The bill also specifies how compressed and liquefied natural gas must be dispensed at fueling stations, using "gasoline gallon equivalents" and "diesel gallon equivalents" respectively, and grants the state's Department of Public Utilities the authority to revise these unit conversions and establish other reasonable regulations to administer the law.
