State Legislature Working On Bill To Bar Cities From Banning Natural Gas

State lawmakers are moving on a bill that would stop cities from banning natural gas as a fuel source for utility services and new construction. Several California cities have passed such ordinances, and some Texas lawmakers say consumer choices would be restricted if Texas cities did the same. A number of other states are considering similar bills. Texas legislators are prioritizing the bill, one of several that were filed in response to last month's winter storm and the resulting power outages.
