A storage operator for certain carbon dioxide storage facilities must follow board rules, try to get all owners’ consent, and obtain consent from at least 66 and two-thirds percent of the relevant ownership interests; the board may then order pooling after notice and a public hearing.

This section says propane gas wholesalers are encouraged to work with retail marketers to promote more efficient propane gas distribution, use, and sale.
The propane gas industry may, if approved by referendum, levy an assessment on itself.
A qualified industry organization must run a statewide referendum about an assessment for wholesalers and retail marketers, pay for it, and use an independent auditing firm; the council may be created and gain assessment authority if the voting thresholds are met.
This provision sets how the council is chosen, who may serve, and what the council must do to manage budgets, records, and audits.
The council sets and collects an assessment on odorized propane, with caps on the rate and rules for monthly payment, late charges, and refunds for agriculture use.
The council may sue in court to enforce this article and stop violations. If the council wins a compliance action, the court may order the defendant to pay the council’s litigation costs.
