This bill would stop the President from declaring a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) unless Congress passes a law that allows such a moratorium. It also includes a "Sense of Congress" statement that States should maintain primacy for regulating fracking on State and private lands. The bill was introduced by Representative Lauren Boebert and referred to the House Committees on Natural Resources and Energy and Commerce.
If the bill became law, the President could not unilaterally impose a nationwide ban or pause on fracking. Decisions about fracking on State and private lands would remain primarily with State regulators according to the bill text. The bill text does not describe changes to specific permits, safety rules, or timelines.
