AN ACT relating to natural resources.

Summary

The bill directs the Energy and Environment Cabinet to study oil‑shale extraction, create rules, and oversee any mining or processing. Commercial oil‑shale operations are prohibited until those rules are adopted, though limited pilot projects of up to five acres may proceed with advance notice. The aim is to protect soil, water and air while allowing controlled development.
