An Act requiring disclosure to consumers regarding home heating oil insurance

This bill requires home heating oil retailers in Massachusetts to inform their customers that additional insurance is available for property damage and environmental cleanup costs. Under the new rule, retailers must send an annual notice on a standardized form approved by the state fire prevention board to every customer. The notice specifically highlights options for first-party property coverage and extra liability protection for claims resulting from oil spills. This measure aims to increase consumer awareness about available financial protections without changing existing insurance requirements.
