THE House energy committee has approved a bill that sets the regulatory framework for the shipment and distribution of imported natural gas.
At a hearing Tuesday, the committee approved the draft substitute bill replacing House Bill No. 3031 or the proposed Downstream Natural Gas Industry Development Act.
The panel’s chairman, Pampanga 2
