This bill would stop the President from putting a nationwide pause on hydraulic fracturing (fracking) unless Congress passes a law to allow it. It also says states should stay in charge of setting the rules for fracking on state and private land. Fracking is a way to get oil and gas by pumping water, sand, and chemicals into rock under high pressure to release the fuel trapped inside .

Key points:

Who is affected: Oil and gas producers, workers, and communities in states where fracking happens; federal and state regulators.
What changes: The President could not declare a fracking moratorium unless Congress approves it; states keep the lead role in regulating fracking on state and private lands.
What it is about: Fracking uses water, sand, and chemicals to extract oil and gas from underground rock formations.
