Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to prohibiting the lease of state forests, wildlife management areas and unique areas for gas production
AI Summary
This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to prohibit the lease of state forests, wildlife management areas, and unique areas for the purpose of gas production. The existing law allowed for the exploration, development, and production of gas in certain state-owned lands, but this bill removes state forests, wildlife management areas, and unique areas from that list, effectively banning gas production activities in those protected areas.
