This bill makes a final rule from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) about gas pipeline leak detection and repair take effect on the date the bill is enacted. The rule referenced was issued January 17, 2025. The bill also says the Secretary may later update regulations to set protections or standards that are more strict than this rule or any rule in effect on the enactment date.
If you operate, inspect, or regulate gas pipelines, the PHMSA rule on leak detection and repair becomes effective as soon as the bill is signed into law. Regulators may enforce the requirements of that rule. The Secretary can later issue updates that are stricter than the rule made effective by this bill.
