Drilling: States Gain Control Over Hydraulic Fracturing Regulations

This act aims to ensure that decisions regarding hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in the Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac River basins are made solely by state authorities, not by interstate commissions. This means citizens will have more influence over drilling regulations through their local and state representatives, potentially impacting the environment and economy in their regions.
Key points
State authorities gain exclusive control over hydraulic fracturing regulations in three major river basins.
Interstate commissions lose the ability to enact their own hydraulic fracturing rules.
This change may affect local environment and economic development, depending on individual state decisions.
