MEMORANDUM

Posted: June 27, 2016 03:29 PM
From: Representative John Maher
To: All House members
Subject: Environmental Protection for Oil and Gas activities
 
Dear Colleagues:

Environmental Protection of Oil and Gas activities depends on strong statutes. This past year has illustrated all too well that our current statute has inspired considerable confusion. With the hope of resolving such confusion for the foreseeable future, I will be introducing legislation to separate conventional and unconventional activities into distinct sub-titles. The conventional aspect would be an updated version of the oil and gas act of 1984 and unconventional will be largely Act 13 of 2012 with some specific clarifications while those subjects are fresh in mind.

If you wish to join this effort, please consider signing on as a cosponsor.

John Maher
Chairman
Environmental Resources and Energy Committee
