State Sen Peyton McKnight of Tyler seeks permission for state agencies to take action to charge the fair market price for natural gas from state lands. A 1968 Supreme Court ruling ties market price to delivery time, complicating previous contracts. The measure heads to full Senate debate where McKnight faces a slim margin for passage.
