The amount of proposed regulatory legislation related to hydraulic fracturing has dramatically increased within state legislatures since 2005. This is in part due to the fact hydraulic fracturing has started in areas in which residents are unfamiliar with natural gas operations. The majority of the proposed bills specifically address one aspect of natural gas drilling, for example wastewater treatment, though some are more comprehensive and consider multiple regulatory concerns.
