Relating to the recusal of a member of the Railroad Commission of Texas in certain matters.

HB 2751 requires members of the Railroad Commission of Texas to recuse themselves from decisions involving business entities where they have a financial interest. Specifically, commissioners cannot act on matters related to entities where they: own equity, received income, or conducted business exceeding $5,000 in the prior year. The bill amends the Natural Resources Code to explicitly mandate this recusal for Commission matters, aligning with existing conflict-of-interest standards for elected officials. It takes effect September 1, 2025, directly affecting Railroad Commission members who may have financial ties to regulated entities.
