The bill amends the law concerning the Oil and Gas Commission by introducing new notification requirements for the Commission regarding certain permits. Specifically, it mandates that the Oil and Gas Commission provide written notice to members of the General Assembly representing the district where a Class II underground injection control disposal well is located. This notice must be given for public hearings related to permits for drilling, deepening, re-entering, recompleting, or operating such wells.
The written notice must include information on how to access the permit application, as well as the date, time, and location of the public hearing. Additionally, the bill allows for this notice to be delivered via email, streamlining the communication process between the Oil and Gas Commission and legislative members.
