“Of all the bills that we saw during [the legislative session], they’re starting with the weakest one,” said David McMahon after today’s meeting of the Select Committee on Marcellus Shale. The joint House/Senate committee is working to write the legislation that should have been passed during the regular legislative session earlier this year. Senate Bill 424, the weaker of the two bills that were drafted, is being used as the basic framework. The house passed a larger bill with stronger regulations, but it failed to pass the senate on the final day of the session.
