HB 227 Engrossed 2020 Regular Session Coussan
Abstract: Provides for clarification of the nature of production payments and eliminates
redundancy in terminology.
Present law requires written notice of the nonpayment of a production payment to be provided prior
to a judicial demand for damages.
Proposed law retains present law but eliminates the linguistic redundancy and clarifies the
application of present law by stating explicitly that the interest at issue is one created out of a mineral
lessee's interest.
