Prohibits the misrepresentation or collection of certain fees related to the delivery, usage, and storage of liquified petroleum
This bill prohibits sellers of liquified petroleum gas from charging or misrepresenting specific fees related to delivery, usage, and storage. It directly affects consumers and gas suppliers by banning charges for unused gas, equipment repairs caused by seller malfunctions, and fees for terminating service under agreed-upon contract terms. The legislation also requires sellers to clearly describe every fee on customer bills and mandates rebates for any gas removed from a tank and resold by the seller. Additionally, the bill ensures that costs for meeting government or environmental regulations cannot be passed on to consumers through their bills.
