Pipeline operators: federal cap, stronger collection

The law caps fines for pipeline safety violations at the matching federal amount. The cap updates with federal inflation adjustments. The Commission can settle for less and must weigh your business size, how serious the violation was, and your good-faith efforts after notice. The State can sue in court to collect an assessed or agreed penalty; offsets against State payments to you are no longer used.
