  • VERTICAL TARGET May 30 2013.Qxp
    VOLUME 16, NO. 11 THE TIPRO TAARGETRGET May 30, 2013 EXAS LAWMAKERS ALLOCATE MILLION FOR Texas T $225 Independent ROAD IMPROVEMENTS NEAR STATE’S SHALE PLAYS Producers and During the final days of the 83rd Regular Legislative Session, members of the Texas House of Royalty Owners Representatives and Texas Senate approved measures to provide funding for road repair and maintenance Association in those counties that have been significantly impacted by surging oil and gas development. Senate Bill 1747, authored by Senator Carlos Uresti, will allot $225 million in general revenue to counties in and around the Eagle Ford Shale and Permian Basin regions. According to the legislation, money will be pulled from the state budget and directed to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), which in turn will be responsible for distributing grants to areas that have been most affected by increasing oil and gas activity. “Help is on the way for these counties,” said Senator Uresti. “Working in a bipartisan fashion, the legislature has recognized that county roads are the gateway to the oil patch and must be maintained for the state's oil boom to continue. With this bill, we are saving the goose that laid the golden egg. This bill and the funding that it brings will take a giant step toward addressing the long-term needs of county roads, which are the linchpin of our energy production efforts.” Language for the bill was crafted with the support of Representative Jim Keffer, Senator Kel Seliger, Senator Judith Zaffirini, Senator Tommy Williams and Senator Glenn Hegar, as well as many other Texas lawmakers who remained committed to finding a solution to the state’s ongoing road infrastructure issues this session.
