House Bill 1883 amends the Utilities Code to authorize the Railroad Commission of Texas to review a certification made by a person claiming to be exempt from being considered a gas utility because the person transports gas in, or in the vicinity of, the field or fields where the gas is produced. The railroad commission is required to invite a person whose certification is being reviewed to an informal meeting to resolve the person's status. If a person's status remains unresolved after the informal meeting and there is sufficient reason to move forward, the railroad commission must provide notice and an opportunity for hearing, after which the railroad commission will make a determination on the exemption claim.
