House Bill 1331 amends the Natural Resources Code to set out provisions establishing the ownership of drill cuttings that result from the drilling of an oil or gas well and that are transferred to another entity for treatment and subsequent beneficial use and to waive certain liability in tort for a person who generates and transfers drill cuttings. The bill requires the Railroad Commission of Texas to govern the treatment and beneficial use of drill cuttings.
