Slow down fracking until scientific study is completed

Excerpts from Legislative Counsel's Digest:

This bill would require, by 2015, an independent scientific study on well stimulation treatments, including acid well stimulation & hydraulic fracturing.
Regulates disposition of well stimulation fluids.
The bill requires a permit prior to performing a well stimulation treatment.

Requires a supplier claiming trade secret protection for the chemical composition of additives used in a well stimulation treatment to disclose the composition to the division.

Status: Passed House, 54-20-4; State Rep. Kevin Mullin voted YES; passed Senate 29-8-2; signed by Gov.Brown, 9/20/2013

OnTheIssues Explanation: "Fracking" extracts more oil and gas from otherwise non-productive wells. Controversies includes that fracking causes earthquakes (hence the "scientific study"), and issues about disposal of the large volumes of potentially toxic liquids used. This bill slows the implementation of fracking.
