Texas Fracking Bill Would Be First To Require Public Disclosure Of Gas Drilling Chemicals

Passage of this Texas bill, in a state with a Republican super-majority in the legislature, would be a tremendous victory for the public's right to know what chemicals are being put into their water. The law would require gas companies to identify all of the 900 chemicals used in the fracking process and would send a very strong signal to industry and politicians that the hydraulic fracture process needs to be regulated responsibly to protect health and drinking water supplies.
