An Act relative to the taxation of above ground conduits, wires, and pipes used in the transportation of natural gas

This bill would require natural gas utility companies to pay property taxes on above-ground conduits, wires, and pipes used for transporting natural gas. It directly affects gas utility companies that own and operate this infrastructure. The key provision changes current tax treatment by subjecting these specific above-ground assets to standard property taxation, rather than exempting them. This policy change aims to generate additional revenue for state or local governments through taxation of this infrastructure.
