Explanation

The bill places additional requirements on contracts for home heating oil and propane gas.  Current law subjects any person who violates such requirements to a fine of $100 for a first offense and $500 for any subsequent offenses;  however, no such fines have been imposed over the last six fiscal years for which data are available.  To the extent that the bill's expanded requirements increase the number of fines imposed, the bill may generate a minimal revenue gain.

The Out Years

The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would continue into the future subject to inflation.
