Legislative Issues

  • Fracking & Health
    Hydraulic fracturing (fracking), a technique used to extract oil and gas from deep within the earth, makes use of chemicals.  Some chemicals found around fracking sites may be linked to infertility, miscarriage, birth defects, breathing problems, and cancer, among other illnesses and conditions. A number of groups and individuals are calling for a moratorium on fracking (Senate Bill 1132) to conduct a study to fully assess the risks to public health associated with fracking.
    Factsheet on Fracking (January 2014) 
    Fracking and its impact on health
  • Environmental Protection & Preservation
    Sierra Club California posts information on bills addressing policy issues related to consumers and commercial business interactions with natural resources and wildlife.  The bills include measures regarding marine life, animals, air quality, water resources, and wilderness sites, as well as measures controlling emissions and other chemical exposures.
