Freedom to Frack Act

The Freedom to Frack Act would amend the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to make states banning hydraulic fracturing (fracking) ineligible for certain federal energy grants. Specifically, states that establish or maintain a fracking prohibition would lose eligibility for grants under Section 545(c) of that law. This directly affects states with existing fracking bans, potentially reducing their access to federal funding for energy programs. The key mechanism ties grant eligibility to the absence of state-level fracking restrictions, without directly altering state laws.
