Massachusetts H3550 seeks to increase fuel assistance for low-income individuals by capping gas delivery fees.

This change aims to increase fuel assistance for low-income individuals by limiting the fees charged by gas companies. The bill targets gas companies and any entities providing natural gas to households in the state.
