You could read the bill itself.
It's a gift from Senators Rucho, Newton and Brock to the little people in the state. Ya'll don't need to know what's leaching into your groundwater and well water anyway. You aren't going to get cancer until years on down the road. Just hush while us important folk reap the benefits now.

What we need is a bill making it illegal for Republicans to introduce a bill.

I wonder if an 8 year old could type in something like "fracking chemicals" in their search bar and get the entire list in 15 seconds.

this does not surprise me.... those of you who voted to have Republicans Control the State Senate and House...are not seeing what you got...but its what you wanted along with cuts in taxes and benefits for those who are in need....the State is now some where in the red to the tune of 447 Million Dollars,,,,this out of the GOP Control Audit Office....the revenue the Gov. McCrory was stating would come in has not materialized....now we have this bill that make it an offense to reveal the chemicals used in Fracking... really?... oh wait its along the same line on Duke Power being slapped with a $99 thousand fine for Ash dumping in our water ways and given six months to come up with a plan to clean it up.... many will say its not a big deal until it affects us directly..including Fracking...there has to be a safe way to do this but the Mega Companies want to go futll speed ahead no matter what....so now a penalty of fine and prison for revealing what chemicals are used ....what are the GOP afraid of open

http://www.motherjones.com/...disclosure
As hydraulic fracturing ramps up around the country, so do concerns about its health impacts. These concerns have led 20 states to require the disclosure of industrial chemicals used in the fracking process.
North Carolina isn't on that list of states yet�and it may be hurtling in the opposite direction.
On Thursday, three Republican state senators introduced a bill that would slap a felony charge on individuals who disclosed confidential information about fracking chemicals. The bill, whose sponsors include a member of Republican party leadership, establishes procedures for fire chiefs and health care providers to obtain chemical information during emergencies. But as the trade publication Energywire noted Friday, individuals who leak information outside of emergency settings could be penalized with fines and several months in prison.
