Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

SOURCE: IC 14-8-2-19.5; (12)HE1107.1.1. -->

    SECTION 1. IC 14-8-2-19.5 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2012]: Sec. 19.5. "Base fluid", for purposes of IC 14-37-3-8, means a fluid into which additives are mixed to form the hydraulic fracturing fluid that transports proppants into a geologic formation.

SOURCE: IC 14-8-2-128.4; (12)HE1107.1.2. -->     SECTION 2. IC 14-8-2-128.4 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2012]: Sec. 128.4. "Hydraulic fracturing" means the process of pumping fluids into a closed wellbore with sufficient downhole pressure to crack or fracture the formation, allowing the injection of a proppant into the fractures, thereby creating a high-permeability plane through which fluids can flow.

SOURCE: IC 14-37-3-8; (12)HE1107.1.3. -->     SECTION 3. IC 14-37-3-8 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2012]: Sec. 8. (a) The commission shall regulate the stimulation and treatment of wells.

---

        (3) the volume of each additive product used in a hydraulic fracturing treatment expressed as a maximum percentage of the total fracturing fluid volume;

        (5) any other information the commission considers necessary.
