A new policy has been adopted regarding public input at monthly meetings. This change affects how people can express their views to regulators. Previously, individuals could sign up to speak for a short time at the end of each meeting.

People from various parts of the state would often attend these meetings to voice their opinions. The regulators oversee the oil and gas industry, making decisions on issues like pipeline violations and permits. The new policy removes a key opportunity for public comment, although regulators can still choose to allow it on a case-by-case basis.
