In-State Gas Bill Moves Out of House Committee

3/11/2010

Last night, the House Resources Committee passed a substitute for House Bill 369, which is House Speaker Mike Chenault’s proposal creating the Joint In-State Gasline Development Team. The committee amended the bill to focus the function of the team, taking out the proposed steering committee. The substitute bill also made minor changes to clarify and further define the legislation. House Speaker Chenault agreed that the bill, as it stands now, still accomplishes his original goal of getting an in-state gasline online by 2015. HB 369 next heads to the House Finance Committee.
