After three years of bickering in Harrisburg, a bill imposing a fee on natural gas drilling in Pennsylvania is now heading to Governor Tom Corbett's desk.
It's called an impact fee. It passed the state House late Wednesday afternoon and the state Senate Tuesday.
The governor said he will sign it.
Pennsylvania is the only major natural gas producing state that doesn't have a tax on that gas drilling and production.
This isn't considered a tax, but the passing of this bill means for the first time, the state and local municipalities will make money directly off the drilling.
Drilling a natural gas well in Pennsylvania will now carry a price tag, the impact fee.
Here are the estimates for what that will mean.
Each well will earn between $190,000 to $355,000 over 15 years. The first year, that's expected to bring in $190 million statewide.
