Bonding of CSST

Hello! Forgive me for going off topic a little. I'm new to this forum and did not really know where to look specifically for the answer to my question(s).

When and where should CSST be bonded to the grounding system? There are a couple of AHJ's in my area that prohibit bonding of gas. So, by extension, the CSST would not be bonded as well?

Additionally, the housing stock in my area is mostly from the 20's through 50's. Where gas is present, it enters the house as a steel pipe. Then, either at a manifold or somewhere in the steel pipe system and piece of CSST will appear and feed a particular device. If I am in a jurisdiction that allows bonding of gas, and the steel pipe is already bonded, does the CSST require additional bonding? Or, is it too bonded due to the mechanical connection made to the steel system?

On newer home that are fed gas via CSST, the bonding would occur on the outside of the building at a connector before it enters the house. I guess to be doubly sure, you could run it to the manifold as well. Please advise. Thanks.
