The new law <br />reportedly puts "unprecedented restrictions on the ability of cities and other <br />local governments to regulate the oil and gas industry." "HB 40 requires that <br />any local regulation of the oil and gas industry be `commercially reason- <br />able,' " and defines "commercially reasonable" as "a condition that would al- <br />low a reasonably prudent operator to fully, effectively, and economically <br />exploit, develop, produce, process, and transport oil and gas." <br />Source: Denton Record-Chronicle; www.dentonrc.corn <br />12 © 2015 Thomson Reuters <br />
