States keep control of fracking
This bill would say states should keep the main role in regulating fracking on state and private land. That statement would be non-binding and would not itself create a new federal rule. The bill would prohibit the President from declaring a fracking moratorium unless Congress enacts a law approving one. If enacted, oil and gas producers and landowners in producing areas would be most directly protected, and nearby households could see indirect effects on jobs and the local economy.
