BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho lawmakers on a Senate committee advanced to the full Senate a bill that will give the public access to oil and natural gas production records and that more closely follows national standards.
The Senate Resources and Environment Committee on Monday unanimously approved the plan to make the records public six months after the state receives the first report.
Currently, such records are not viewable by the public in Idaho.
The bill has already been passed by the full House on a 67-3 vote.
