| IN RE: | HB1931 by Capelo (Relating to pipeline safety emergency response plans and the repeal of the requirements governing notification of pipeline construction and operation.), As Engrossed |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would remove the requirement for public notice for all new construction permits for pipelines traverse more than three counties. This may result in a slight decrease in workload for the Railroad Commission, since public notice would no longer need to be verified. However, any impact would be minimal.
