Currently, the maximum civil penalties for any corporation, person, public utility, or municipality that owns any gas plant that violates any law, order, decision, decree, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the Public Service Commission relating to Federally mandated natural gas safety standards are set in statute. This bill repeals the penalties and instead states that violations of such standards are subject to a penalty not to exceed an amount as determined by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation of the United States pursuant to Federal regulations.
This bill is the same as HB 1054 (2021).
