A BILL
To prohibit oil and gas drilling in the Great Lakes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. PROHIBITION.
After the enactment of this Act no person may com-
mence any drilling activity (including any slant or direc-
tional drilling) to extract oil or gas from lands beneath
waters under the jurisdiction of the United States in any
of the Great Lakes. The Attorney General of the United
States may bring an action in the appropriate United
States district court to enforce the prohibition contained
in this section. As used in this Act, the term ‘‘Great
Lakes’’ has the same meaning as provided by section 2
of the Great Lakes Fishery Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 931;
70 Stat. 242).
