Texas Energy Independence Act

What is happening? Meet Texas House Bill 33 (2023 | TX) that seeks to “to stall the implementation of any new federal regulations on oil or natural gas production in Texas.” The bill prohibits Texas state agencies and officials from contracting with or providing assistance to any federal agency or official concerning the enforcement of a federal statute, order, rule, or regulation regulating oil and gas operations if the regulation is not already existing law.

Why is this important? “We produce oil and natural gas cleaner, safer, and with more concern for human life and dignity than any other major oil producing region on earth. The Texas Energy Independence Act will help preserve the Texas economy, and, hopefully, the United States of America as a global force for good.” – Texas State representative Landgraf
