LSPA’s Home Heating Oil Insurance Bill

NBC Boston ran this story on September 22, 2021 to again highlight the devastating and costly impacts of residential heating oil spills, especially for those without insurance coverage. The LSPA continues to work with Senator Anne M. Gobi to pass S. 676, our bill that would require insurance companies to provide coverage for the approximately 700,000 homeowners who do not have it. For two sessions, this bill has received a favorable report from the legislature's Joint Committee on Financial Services.

For more information about the LSPA's bill, please read our fact sheet and this additional information which includes TV news coverage.
