Texas legislator fights attempts by cities to ban natural gas use

 

A State legislator in Texas wants to adopt a law similar to one in Oklahoma that would prevent local governments from prohibiting or restricting the use of natural gas in residential and commercial buildings.

Rep. Jay Dean filed House Bill 1501 which is called the Natural Gas Protection Act. He said in a press release that the act is meant to ensure local bans on natural gas and propane usage do not happen in Texas reported KLTV in Tyler.
