Bill Summary
To enact section 1509.101 of the Revised Code to require horizontal oil and gas well owners that drill in state parks to disclose the chemical components of the materials used in the drilling operation.
AI Summary
This bill requires owners of horizontal oil and gas wells drilled in Ohio state parks to disclose detailed information about the chemical components of products, fluids, and substances used during drilling and well operation. Specifically, well owners must provide the trade name and full chemical composition of these materials to the chief of the division of oil and gas resources management at least 30 days before using them. Once the chief receives this information, they are required to immediately publish these details on the division's website, ensuring transparency about the chemicals used in drilling within state parks. This legislation aims to increase public awareness and understanding of the potential environmental impacts of oil and gas drilling in protected state park areas by mandating comprehensive chemical disclosure, which was not previously required under existing law.
