Senate Bill 361

Senate Bill 361 sponsored by Senator Peter Wirth is scheduled for its first hearing in the Senate Conservation Committee on Tuesday afternoon, February 24th, 1:30pm, Room 311, Roundhouse.

This bill addresses and broadens the Oil Conservation Division (OCD) jurisdiction and authorizes civil and criminal penalties. It is a "Governor's bill" meaning it is a legislative initiative of the Richardson administration. This will be a very tough committee. We need your support. Please attend the meeting if you can. Also, please contact the members of the Senate Conservation Committee listed in the link below and tell them you support Senate Bill 361.
