Prohibits service charges by gas companies for the repair, inspection, maintenance or remedies of damage
This bill prohibits gas companies from charging customers for repair, inspection, maintenance, or damage remedies related to gas equipment or personal property. It directly affects gas company customers by eliminating these specific service fees. The key provision amends the public service law to state that gas corporations "shall not make or impose an additional charge" for these services, except in limited cases like denied inspections or meter tampering. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
