Relating to the location of pits used in the production of oil and gas.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 2201 requires the Railroad Commission of Texas to create standards governing allowed locations for pits used by commercial oil and gas disposal facilities. The rules must include
a history of flooding in the past 10 years as a factor in determining whether a proposed location of a
pit is permissible.
Texas Action is neutral on HB 2201 as this does not impact our liberty principles.
