Rep. John Maher (R-Allegheny), Majority Chair of the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, late Monday announced on the House Floor he has postponed the meeting scheduled for June 12 on House Bill 2304 (Fritz-R-Susquehanna) which would enact the oil and gas well permitting reforms proposed by Gov. Wolf in January.
Rep. Maher said the postponement was to allow time to determine why the Wolf Administration is opposed to the bill.
