Fracking moratoriums would require Congress
The bill would bar the President from declaring a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing unless Congress passes a law allowing it. This limit would apply regardless of other laws. Energy producers would face a lower risk of a presidential pause on fracking. Communities near fracking would not get a federal pause ordered by the President. This would take effect upon enactment.
