Bill to create state Mineral Board killed in House vote
Rep. Mike John’s measure to form a new Mineral Board failed 11-1 in the House Judiciary Committee. The bill would add the state lands register and governor appointees to a 17 member board, with a safeguard against oil interests, but faced opposition from administration leaders. John defended the proposal as giving elected officials control over oil wealth in a $400 million tideland settlement context.
