HB1385

House Bill 1385 amends Arkansas law to establish new notification requirements for the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission. Under the bill, the Commission must provide written notice to members of the General Assembly whose legislative districts contain a Class II underground injection control disposal well. This requirement applies when the Commission schedules a public hearing regarding a permit to drill, deepen, re-enter, recomplete, or operate such a well. The notification must include the date, time, and location of the hearing, as well as instructions on how to access the permit application. The bill specifies that this notification may be delivered to legislators via email.
