Summary

The bill forces gas companies to charge only for the gas they deliver and bans extra fees for services such as repairs, inspections, or fixing damage to a customer's property. It does permit charges in narrow situations, like when entry is denied, when service is reconnected after non‑payment, for meter tampering, for optional remote meter reading, for energy‑efficiency upgrades with customer consent, and for providing thermal energy service. The goal is to shield consumers from hidden or unjustified utility fees.
