Texas HB3263 establishes a methane emissions monitoring program using funds from the Texas emissions reduction plan.

Texas HB3263 amends the Health and Safety Code to create a methane emissions monitoring program. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will adopt standards for methane and associated gas emissions and establish a program to monitor these emissions. The program will operate monitoring devices to detect and measure methane and associated gas levels, providing real-time data. The commission may issue permits for methane emissions and require facility operators to repair or shut off emissions that violate standards.
