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
nd District Representative Juan Miguel M. Arroyo said the approval is subject to further work by a technical working group (TWG), which will redraft parts of the bill.
“We will have a separate TWG for this or we will prepare to put this to the floor for the period of amendments,” Mr. Arroyo said, adding this needs to be discussed not only by the committee but also by other House legislators.
