H.B. No. 2167 proposes the establishment of a gas inventory system in Texas, which will be developed through collaboration between the Railroad Commission, the independent organization certified for the ERCOT power region, and the Public Utility Commission of Texas. The bill introduces a new section, 121.159, to the Utilities Code, mandating that the Railroad Commission create rules requiring operators of certain intrastate gas pipeline facilities to provide real-time information about their available gas supply. This information can be transmitted through telemetry or a hotline.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the information collected for the gas inventory system will be confidential and exempt from disclosure under the Government Code. The implementation of this act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
