Relating to the inspection, purchase, sale, possession, storage, transportation, and disposal of petroleum products, oil and gas equipment, and oil and gas waste; creating criminal offenses and increasing the punishment for an existing criminal offense.
SB 1806 regulates the handling of petroleum products (crude oil and condensate) in Texas by creating new criminal offenses for illegal activities like unauthorized possession, storage, or transportation. It requires law enforcement to use NYMEX oil prices to sell stolen petroleum products and mandates inspections of cargo tanks on public roads by trained officers, with samples sent to crime labs for analysis. The bill directly affects oil and gas industry operators, law enforcement agencies, and individuals involved in petroleum product transactions. It increases penalties for existing crimes related to petroleum products and takes effect September 1, 2025, after being signed by the Governor.
