The Energy Committee advanced a bill relating to expedited horizontal oil and gas well permitting fees.
In the last meeting of the regular session, the House Energy Committee advanced Senate Bill 665. This bill amends the West Virginia Code by adding new subsections to allow for expedited oil and gas well permitting and expedited oil and gas well permit modifications upon the payment of applicable expedited fees.
The designation of the proceeds of such expedited fees, and the daily pro rata refund of the expedited fees if the permit or modification is not approved within statutory requirements set forth in the bill.
The bill now heads to the House.
