House Bill 2571 amends the Natural Resources Code to require a lessee of state land or minerals to produce information relating to the production, transportation, sale, and marketing of oil and gas requested by the commissioner of the General Land Office (GLO), the attorney general, or the governor by a certain deadline, with certain exceptions. The bill authorizes the commissioner to assess an administrative penalty against a lessee who fails to produce requested information in the required time by intentionally withholding information to which the GLO is legally entitled and sets out maximum daily penalties.
