Governor Abbott promotes West Texas growth with new bills

MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- Governor Greg Abbott made a stop in Midland Thursday, joined by former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Don Evans, Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick, Senator Kevin Sparks, Representative Tom Craddick, Representative Brooks Landgraf, Midland Mayor Lori Blong, and other state and local officials and energy leaders, to sign a series of bills passed during the 89th regular legislative session. Abbott said these bills will safeguard Texas' robust oil and gas industry and spur economic growth across West Texas. 'Today is a defining moment for the Permian Basin, for the future of this region, as well as for the future of Texas,' Governor Abbott said. 'The Permian Basin, what we like to call the land out of the high sky and where the sky is the limit. It's a land of purpose, a land of promise. It's a place where of unlimited opportunity for all who dream big, work hard, and never give up,' Evans. In West Texas, oil and gas are king. 'I like to call the people of West Texas people with a compassionate heart and a rocket engine. I like to call it the largest secure supply of energy in the world, which it is,' governor Abbott said. The Permian Basin produces more that six million barrels of oil every day. 'The Permian Basin is the lifeblood of Texas. It's the lifeblood that quite literally powers our engines, but equally literally that powers our economy,' Governor Abbott said. But being the highest-producing oil field in the US comes at a cost. 'Many of you all have complained about oil field theft and for a good reason. It's on the rise and it's very costly,' the Governor said. Oil field theft has hit the Basin hard. Law enforcement officials said more than $2,000,000 worth of stolen equipment has been seized this year alone. 'Your Senator and Representatives got three laws to my desk to fix that,' Governor Abbott said. First, House Bill 48 will establish an oil field theft prevention unit within the Texas Department of Public Safety. 'The second is Senate Bill 498 by Senator Sparks, sponsored in the House by Representative Landgraf. It establishes the Theft of Petroleum Products Task Force,' Governor Abbott said of another bill signed today. The third, Senate Bill 1806, will allow police to confiscate petroleum products that have been stolen. 'It creates a program to inspect oil and gas tankers for possible theft, and it increases criminal penalties for theft of petroleum products in Texas,' the Governor said. 'The crackdown on oil theft in Texas is now law.' Another bill signed today addressed the demand for economic growth in the Basin. 'Having been the governor of the state, it's ranked number one in the United States for economic development. Not once, not twice, but actually 13 years in a row, Texas has been the national champion for economic development,' Governor Abbott said. To foster that growth, he signed Senate Bill 529. 'It's a program that will help Midland to boost hotel and convention projects and to attract more tourists and businesses to your great city.' Leadership within the Tall City said the bill will help keep local dollars here. 'Over the last few years, we've seen so much of the revenue coming from oil and gas and from other things going out of the Permian Basin and really resourcing the rest of the state budget,' said Mayor Blong. 'I often think of the Permian Basin as the goose that lays the golden egg for the state of Texas and if they want us to continue to be able to lay those golden eggs, then they're going to have to invest in our infrastructure, they're going to have to invest in our local economy, they're going to have to invest in the health care and public safety and education of our students.' Now that these critical bills have been signed into law, Governor Abbott said locals will start to see some changes. 'It's going to transform the entire Permian Basin region for decades if not a century,' he said. One thing that Governor Abbott wanted to make clear to all- our local lawmakers were essential in making these changes happen. 'You all are fortunate to have representatives who deliver on solutions to the problems you face, so give it up for Speaker Craddock, Senator Sparks, and Representative Landgraf and Representative Darby for everything they have done to get things across the finish line,' he said.

Lake District pub can serve alcohol until 2am despite residents' noise concerns

A LAKE District pub can serve alcohol until 2am, despite residents' concerns over noise from the venue, after the proposed variations to its licence were approved this week. Members of Cumberland Council's licensing sub-committee met at Allerdale House in Workington on Monday (June 2) to consider the application. Wolverhampton-based Marston's submitted the licensing application to make the changes at Oddfellows Arms in Main Street, Keswick. The proposed changes included: The sale of alcohol 2am with the opening hours running until 2.30am; To match permitted live music hours with sale of alcohol; The playing of recorded music and late-night refreshment within current licensed areas to be matched with the sale of alcohol. Speaking after the evidence had been considered committee chairman, councillor John Mallinson (Houghton and Irthington, Conservative), told representatives from Marston's they had considered it very carefully and added: 'And we have decided to grant your application for the following reasons. 'We felt that your presentation was well thought out, well presented, and thoroughly professional. 'We found the designated premises supervisor (DPS) to be experienced and a competent individual who we have confidence in this venture. 'The noise concerns that were raised as an issue, we find that the existing conditions for noise control would appear to be sufficient and working well, and therefore, we grant your application as applied for.' During the meeting Deborah Fletcher, a council specialist in licensing and compliance, told members that an additional condition relating to a risk assessment on whether to deploy security on Friday and Saturday evenings had been agreed. Relating to the separate condition the report states: 'The DPS will complete a risk assessment to deploy security on Friday and Saturday evenings or when there is a specific event in the town that would impact the expected customer base, for example, bank holiday weekends, annual events or events that would increase footfall within the town and nighttime economy. 'This risk assessment should be retained on site and available for review by responsible authorities on request.' A Marston's spokesman told members that the permitted hours were currently 10am to 1.30am and the extra time would allow at a 'staggered' dispersal of customers. He said that Marston's was a national pub operator and the DPS also ran two other establishments in the Lake District town – The Twa Dogs and The George – and he had more than 22 years of experience in the industry. Members were told that there were no complaints from neither the police nor environmental health and the residents who had complained had not bothered to turn up for the hearing.

Texas lawmakers pass medical marijuana bill that includes chronic pain

A bill expanding Texas' medical marijuana program is headed to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's desk. The latest version was negotiated by members of the Texas House and Senate, including several lawmakers representing parts of Tarrant County. A compromise version of House Bill 46 advanced on Sunday, June 1, as negotiated in a conference committee made up of lawmakers from both chambers. It includes a number of recommendations from supporters of medical marijuana on how to improve the program, called the Texas Compassionate Use Program. The bill's measures include: Permitting satellite locations where dispensing organizations can securely store medical marijuana for distribution. Currently the products can only be stored overnight at an organization's main location, creating distribution challenges. Requires the state to have 15 dispensing organizations. At least three are required now, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Allows inhaling medical marijuana as an aerosol or vapor. Smoking is still not allowed. It also expands qualifying medical conditions to include: A condition that causes chronic pain. A traumatic brain injury. A terminal illness or condition that requires hospice or palliative care. The version that passed out of the House in May also included glaucoma, degenerative disc disease and spinal neuropathy, and included language specifically folding veterans into the program. The bill defines chronic pain as 'pain that is not relieved with acute, post-surgical, post-procedure or persistent non-chronic pain treatment and is associated with a chronic pathological process that causes continuous or intermittent severe pain for more than 90 days and for which a tetrahydrocannabinol is a viable method of treatment.' The Senate's version had included language that would have required patients to be on an opioid for 90 days before qualifying for the medical marijuana program. That requirement wasn't acceptable to the House, said Rep. Ken King, a Republican from Canadian who authored the bill. 'While we were not able to find agreement on degenerative disc disease, glucoma, spinal neuropathy and veterans, we believe with the new definitions of chronic pain, most of these patients will be covered,' King said. Tony Tinderholt, an Arlington Republican, who was a member of the conference committee, maintained that veterans are covered under the bill. 'The veterans out there watching need to know that the Texas Compassionate Use Program has been protected,' Tinderholt said. The expansion comes as Texas is positioned to ban consumable TCH products, like the delta-8 and delta-a gummies, vapes and drinks that can be found at stores and gas stations across Texas. The ban was a top priority of Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who on May 28 held a news conference blasting the THC products. Members of the hemp business community have called for new regulations, like age restrictions, and better enforcement of existing regulations, rather than a ban of the products. The Texas Hemp Business Council has called on Abbott to veto the legislation.
