Offshore drilling rules move to next stage in House push
A House Select Committee on the Outer Continental Shelf has completed a draft overhaul of offshore oil drilling regulations. The bill aims to give states more planning input while preserving Interior Secretary oversight for leasing.

Reimburses fishermen for losses and bars Interior officials from working in oil for two years after government service.
