What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill says that companies doing fracking — a process that uses high-pressure water, sand, and chemicals to extract oil or gas from underground — must test for and report any contamination of nearby underground drinking water caused by their operations. If there is no underground drinking water source within one mile of the fracking site, the company does not have to do this testing and reporting. States must require these rules in order to keep their authority over underground injection programs. The Environmental Protection Agency must create a public, searchable database where people can look up the test results.
