Summary
The bill updates enforcement rules so the state commissioner can file court actions to stop oil and gas violations and obtain injunctions, even without posting bond. It also makes well owners responsible for the full cost of plugging dry or abandoned wells, giving the commission authority to forfeit bonds or sue for extra costs. This aims to strengthen oversight of oil and gas activities.
