Relating to the declaration of an oil or gas emergency by the Railroad Commission of Texas and the liability of a person for assistance, advice, or resources provided in relation to an oil or gas emergency.

HB 4021 creates a legal framework for the Railroad Commission of Texas to declare oil or gas emergencies (such as uncontrolled well releases) and provides liability protection for individuals or companies offering emergency assistance. The bill defines an "oil or gas emergency" as incidents involving production, storage, or transportation of oil/gas, requiring the Commission to issue a proclamation detailing the emergency type and affected area. It grants immunity from civil lawsuits for those providing assistance, advice, or resources in good faith during a declared emergency, provided the help was requested by a state, local, or federal agency. This protection applies only to emergencies declared under the bill and excludes cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
