Senate Committee Takes Conventional Drilling Regulation Bill Off March 27 Meeting Agenda

The Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee Monday removed Senate Bill 1088 (Hutchinson-R-Venango) re-enacting the 1984 Oil and Gas Act to regulate conventional oil and gas drilling from its public meeting agenda on March 27.
The agenda still includes House Bill 544 (Moul-R-Adams) further providing for liability protection for landowners opening their land for public recreation (House Fiscal Note and summary).
The meeting will be called off the Floor of the Senate at some point Tuesday and held in the Rules Room.  Because this meeting is in the Rules Room, it will not be available online.
Sen. Gene Yaw (R-Lycoming) serves as Majority Chair of the Senate Environmental Committee and can be contacted by calling 717-787-3280 or sending email to: gyaw@pasen.gov.   Sen. John Yudichak (D-Luzerne) serves as Minority Chair and can be contacted by calling 717-787-7105 or sending email to: yudichak@pasenate.com.
