HR 1341 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 with respect to certain regulatory actions related to hydraulic fracturing within the Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac River basins, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 to modify hydraulic fracturing regulation in the Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac River basins. It restricts the multi-state river basin commissions in these areas from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing hydraulic fracturing regulations unless the authority for those regulations comes from individual states. The effect is to preserve state-level regulatory authority over hydraulic fracturing in these river basins rather than allowing interstate commissions to establish their own fracking regulations.
