Relating to the establishment by the Railroad Commission of Texas of a policy to eliminate the routine flaring of natural gas from wells or other facilities regulated by the commission.

HB 241 requires Texas' Railroad Commission to establish a policy eliminating routine natural gas flaring (burning off excess gas not collected for sale) from oil wells and regulated facilities by December 31, 2031. The policy may use regulations, incentives, or voluntary measures, with interim goals for specific wells or operators. It permits flaring only for safety emergencies or purposes authorized under existing rules (Section 86.185), while prohibiting extended flaring for non-emergency purposes. This directly affects oil and gas operators regulated by the Railroad Commission.
