Well, the new rules are out and they were followed by announcements from the local companies that they were scaling back their operations over this coming year. On the flip side, the oil and gas companies are taking this to the State Legislature in the beginning of next year. Also, from what I've been hearing this means no more guaranteed overtime for some of their employees. I have included a link to the new rules and regulations if you want to read them, they are 85 pages long.
New Rules for the Oil and Gas Industry, effective 4/1/09
