On June 25, 2013, the Pennsylvania House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee reported as amended SB 259,
which added restrictions for royalty payment information. SB 259 would revise
the information included in royalty check stubs that producers are required to
provide to landowners. The bill provided for similar
changes to regulations for oil and gas lease royalty payments as HB 1414.
For more information on SB
259 or HB
1414, please visit the Pennsylvania General Assembly site, or the Penn
State Marcellus Shale Law Blog.

No mention here of forced pooling included in both SB 259 and HB 1414. Of course it was called apportionment in the bills.
