Texas HB4941 mandates the Railroad Commission of Texas to create a strategic fuel reserve program. This program aims to reduce the state's vulnerability to energy emergencies by maintaining a reserve of gas and petroleum products. The program must consider the energy needs and infrastructure of each region. The commission can purchase, sell, and lease property, including gas and petroleum products, to facilitate the program. The governor can direct the distribution of up to 30 percent of the reserve in case of a disaster.
