Pipeline Bills Moving This Session, But Maybe Not the Ones You Were Thinking
“The big questions about the future of pipelines in Texas this legislative session revolve around how companies should be able to use eminent domain to build them. Those questions remain unanswered.
But while Texas lawmakers have been unable to agree on reforms to pipeline companies common carrier status, they have voted some other bills out that overhaul the regulation of pipelines in Texas. As we reported earlier, a bill that would allow fracking wastewater to be transported by pipeline was recently voted out of the State Senate.”
