House Bill 2663 amends the Natural Resources Code to establish that the rules and standards adopted by the Railroad Commission of Texas under the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code preempt and supersede any ordinance, order, or rule adopted by a political subdivision of the state relating to any aspect or phase of the liquefied petroleum industry. A political subdivision may petition the railroad commission's executive director for permission to adopt more restrictive rules and standards only if the political subdivision can prove that the more restrictive rules and standards enhance public safety.
