This bill contains the following text:

 

(b)

Prohibition

The Secretary of the Interior shall not enforce any Federal regulation, guidance, or permit requirement regarding hydraulic fracturing, or any component of hydraulic fracturing, relating to oil, gas, or geothermal production activities on or under any land in any State that has regulations, guidance, or permit requirements for hydraulic fracturing.

(c)

State authority

The Secretary shall recognize and defer to State regulations, guidance, and permitting for all activities regarding hydraulic fracturing, or any component of hydraulic fracturing, relating to oil, gas, or geothermal production activities on Federal land regardless of whether the regulations, guidance, and permitting are duplicative, more or less restrictive, have different requirements, or do not meet Federal regulations, guidance, or permit requirements.

Summary:

This bill is designed to take away from the Federal Government, public lands, and the power to regulate fracking and it's related tasks. It gives states the regulatory authority. This will cause a fracking free-for-all on public lands. This is unacceptable. Click here H.R. 2728 to TRACK the bill, and your Senator's votes.
