HB 3652 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a study by the Railroad Commission of Texas regarding the creation of a strategic gas and petroleum product reserve in this state.

HB 3652 requires the Railroad Commission of Texas to study the feasibility of creating a state strategic reserve of natural gas and petroleum products. The study must examine potential facility locations, roles of state/local entities, required reserve capacity, distribution criteria during disasters, and implementation costs. It does not create the reserve but assesses whether one would be practical to reduce supply disruption impacts during emergencies. The Commission must submit its findings and recommendations to the legislature by September 30, 2026. This is a procedural study bill, not a policy that would immediately establish a reserve.
