Under which General Law is the Mass state FUEL GAS and Plumbing Code authorized?

  1. Chapter 128 General Law

  2. Chapter 140 General Law

  3. Chapter 142 General Law

  4. Chapter 146 General Law

The correct answer is: Chapter 142 General Law

The correct choice is based on the authority granted under Chapter 142 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which is specifically focused on the regulation of building systems, including plumbing and fuel gas installations. This chapter provides the legal foundation necessary for establishing codes and standards that ensure public safety and the integrity of plumbing systems throughout the state. While the other chapters mentioned may address different aspects of building regulations or public health and safety, Chapter 142 is the one that directly governs plumbing and fuel gas safety practices, making it the relevant choice for this question.
