 AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to fees
 related to liquefied petroleum

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 192-e of the agriculture and markets law is amended
 2 by adding four new subdivisions 10, 11, 12 and 13 to read as follows:
 3 10. A seller shall not misrepresent the nature of any fee, nor collect
 4 from a consumer:
 5 (a) a special usage fee that is greater than a nominal value. For the
 6 purposes of this section, "special usage fee" shall mean a fee charged
 7 to a consumer for using less than the minimum amount of liquefied petro-
 8 leum gas as established by the seller. No special usage fee shall be
 9 charged except for when: (i) the consumer's usage of liquefied petroleum
 10 gas is low enough that the seller would otherwise be unable to make a
 11 reasonable return on investment for providing liquefied petroleum gas
 12 service to that consumer; (ii) the special usage fee shall be disclosed
 13 in the contract between the seller and the consumer; and (iii) a

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 5 (c) a fee that is not disclosed in the contract between the seller and
 6 the consumer related to termination of liquefied petroleum gas service
 7 at the agreed upon end of contract between the seller and the consumer
 8 that is greater than the cost of labor associated with the termination
 9 of service, including a fee that is greater than the cost of labor to:
 10 (i) remove the seller's liquefied petroleum gas tank from the prem-
 11 ises;
 12 (ii
