An Act relative to HVAC safety accountability and public transparency

This bill requires HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) companies and technicians in Massachusetts to be held accountable when negligence causes carbon monoxide poisoning or death. It gives the state licensing board authority to impose fines, suspend, or revoke licenses for such incidents, and mandates mandatory reviews after serious safety failures. The bill also creates a public website listing suspended or revoked licenses with details of the violations, increasing transparency. Additionally, it prohibits individuals or companies with revoked licenses from obtaining new licenses under different names without disclosing past violations. These changes directly affect HVAC professionals and companies operating in Massachusetts.
