Freedom to Frack Act

This legislation proposes to restrict federal grants administered by the Secretary of Energy. Its primary purpose is to make states that prohibit hydraulic fracturing within their borders ineligible for certain federal funding programs. The bill specifically amends Section 545(c) of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Under this amendment, a state would lose eligibility for grants if it establishes or continues to enforce a ban on hydraulic fracturing, as defined by federal regulations. This measure is designed to incentivize states to permit hydraulic fracturing by linking its prohibition to the loss of federal financial support.
