Bill > HB2407

This bill, titled "Hydraulic fracturing; prohibition," aims to ban the practice of hydraulic fracturing, which is defined as the process of pumping fluid into the ground to create fractures in rock for oil or natural gas recovery. The bill proposes to amend existing Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section that explicitly prohibits any person from engaging in hydraulic fracturing within the state. Furthermore, it prohibits the collection, storage, or treatment of water if that water is used in, generated by, or results from hydraulic fracturing. The bill also makes minor amendments to definitions within existing statutes related to solid waste facilities and general definitions, primarily to update references and ensure consistency with the new prohibition.
