House Bill 1512 amends the Government Code to require each local or interjurisdictional agency to conduct at least one public meeting each calendar year to exchange information regarding emergency management plans relating to pipeline safety. The bill requires each agency to provide written notice of the meeting to the pipeline safety section of the Railroad Commission of Texas. It exempts an agency from the information exchange if its emergency management plan contains sensitive information that could jeopardize the safety or security of critical facilities if disclosed.
