3-Year Fracking Moratorium Bill Heads to Vote in Maryland House

"ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A bill to place a three-year moratorium on fracking in Maryland survived eight amendments and is headed to a vote in the House of Delegates.

On Monday, the Protect Our Health and Communities Act dodged attempts by House Republicans to change the legislation and make it easier for fracking to start in western Maryland. Currently there is no fracking in Maryland."

The Associated Press had the story March 23, 2015.
