TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING BRINE PRODUCTION; AND TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE FORMATION OF BRINE PRODUCTION UNITS.
HB 1413 amends laws governing brine production and the formation of brine production units. The bill changes a mandatory requirement ("shall") to a discretionary one ("may") regarding certain brine operations and clarifies that transferred land must not substantially harm the property rights of other owners within the brine unit. This directly affects brine producers and landowners involved in brine production units by providing more flexibility in operational decisions while protecting neighboring property rights during land transfers. The bill became law as Act 254 on March 6, 2025.
