In Committee
Summary
Limits interstate river basin commissions from regulating hydraulic fracturing. The DRILL Now Act would stop three interstate river basin commissions from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing any regulation on hydraulic fracturing unless the rule’s authority comes from the state where it will be applied.
Show full summary
- The Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac basin commissions would be barred from adopting or enforcing fracking rules issued under any authority other than the affected State.
- State governments would retain exclusive control over hydraulic fracturing regulation inside their borders for these river basins.
- Energy companies and local communities in the basins would face only state-level fracking rules rather than basin-wide commission regulations.

States lead fracking rules in three basins
This bill would stop three interstate river basin commissions from making or enforcing fracking rules on their own. The Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac commissions would only act under the state’s authority. States would set and enforce fracking rules within those basins. If passed, this could ease drilling approvals in some states but reduce shared water protections across the region.
