Massachusetts H3518 protects propane gas ratepayers by requiring written contracts, itemized fees, and clear price transparency.
Massachusetts H3518 amends the General Laws to enhance protections for propane gas ratepayers. The bill mandates that all contracts for the sale of propane for residential heating be in writing and include an itemized list of fees, charges, surcharges, or penalties. It also requires propane gas dealers to make the daily delivery price for residential heating customers available in a clear and conspicuous manner, especially if the dealer operates a website for commonwealth customers. The provisions apply to contracts or agreements entered into on or after January 1, 2025.
