An Act relative to ensuring gas safety and consumer fairness

This bill aims to improve gas safety and fairness for consumers by requiring utility companies to stop charging customers for gas lost due to leaks in their infrastructure. It mandates that gas companies repair certain hazardous leaks within six months and notify local fire and law enforcement officials within an hour of detection. Additionally, the legislation creates a process for property owners to claim damages from gas companies and requires utilities to pay for the replacement of trees damaged by leaks.
