Prohibiting Moratorium on Hydraulic Fracturing for Energy Production

This bill aims to prevent the President from imposing a ban on hydraulic fracturing, a method used for oil and natural gas extraction. This means energy production from these sources can continue without nationwide interruptions, potentially affecting energy prices and fuel availability for citizens.
Key points
The President cannot unilaterally declare a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing unless authorized by Congress.
States are encouraged to maintain primary control over regulating hydraulic fracturing on state and private lands.
