The House of Representatives has at least five bills that impact the drilling industry that are waiting to move to either the House Rules Committee, which would determine rules for each bill to be debated and voted on in the full House or, if a congressional staffer is correct, at least one of the bills might move directly to the House floor.
The Driller contacted the offices of all the representatives who introduced those bills (which cover a broad spectrum of issues impacting drilling) and requested information on the status of those bills, but only a few staffers responded.
