Senators Mitchell and Leno have introduced SB 1132, a bill that will impose a moratorium on fracking until scientific studies are done that show fracking will not harm our environment and health. SB 1132 has made it through two committees. The bill now moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee http://sapro.senate.ca.gov/ on May 19 and we need you to help us get it through the committee and onto the Senate floor. Here are the steps to take:
Call all seven senators on the Appropriations Committee and tell them to vote yes on SB 1132:
Senator Kevin de León (Chair) – (916) 651-4022
Senator Mimi Walters (Vice Chair) – (916) 651-4037
Senator Darrell Steinberg – (916) 651-4006

Senator Alex Padilla – (916) 651-4020
