AB 2711: Oil and gas: notice of intention.
What AB 2711 does, verified August 15, 2026
This bill aims to improve the process of oil and gas drilling in the state by requiring the state oil and gas supervisor to respond to a notice of intent to commence drilling within 30 working days. If the supervisor or district deputy fails to respond within this timeframe, the failure to respond will not be considered an automatic approval. In addition, if the notice is denied, the supervisor or district deputy must provide a comprehensive reason for the denial. The bill also provides that if operations have not commenced within 24 months of receiving approval, the notice will be deemed canceled.
