The resolution proposes an interim study to assess various issues related to the production and supply of natural gas in Nebraska. It aims to address the increasing demand for natural gas due to rising energy consumption and its implications for home heating, electric power generation, ethanol production, and the agricultural sector. The study will evaluate whether natural gas companies in Nebraska have sufficient capacity, adequate pipeline infrastructure, and firm supply to meet these needs, as well as the affordability of natural gas prices for consumers.

The Natural Resources Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that policymakers are informed about the current state of natural gas production and supply in the state.
