Bill Caption

Relating to the new technology implementation grant program administered by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

HB 2361 would make more grants available for projects that reduce flaring emissions under the new technology implementation grant program and would allow grant funds to be used to pay incremental leasing costs of qualifying projects. This bill would also remove a requirement that eligible flaring reduction systems must capture waste heat to generate electricity solely for on-site service.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on HB 2361 as this bill does not impact our liberty principles.
