HB 1385 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE OIL AND GAS COMMISSION; AND TO REQUIRE THE OIL AND GAS COMMISSION TO NOTIFY MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONCERNING CERTAIN PERMITS.

HB 1385 requires the Oil and Gas Commission to send written notice to legislators representing districts where certain disposal well permits are proposed. Specifically, the commission must notify each local representative about public hearings for Class II underground injection control disposal well permits, including how to access the application and the hearing details. The notice can be delivered via email and must include the date, time, and location of the hearing. This bill does not change drilling rules but ensures legislators are informed about specific permit applications affecting their districts.
