An Act protecting our coasts from offshore drilling

This bill prohibits all new offshore oil and natural gas exploration, development, and production in Massachusetts state waters and bans related onshore support activities. It prevents state officials from issuing permits, leases, or approvals for such projects and forbids the state from participating in federal programs that would allow drilling in coastal areas. The law allows for the repair and maintenance of existing infrastructure to ensure safety but does not permit any new drilling operations or expansion of current facilities.
