Summary

The bill allows the state to fine propane companies up to $10,000 each time they do not provide emergency propane within 24 hours to a customer who has an automatic‑refill contract during an outage or heat loss. It applies to any propane provider operating in New York, and the fines go to the state’s general fund. The goal is to protect consumers from dangerous heating interruptions.
