9 * * *
10 (d.1) Prohibition and presumption.--

14 limits or prohibits future development of unconventional
15 natural gas wells within the municipality as determined by
16 the commission.
17 (2) A municipality's zoning or other ordinance shall be
18 presumed to have unreasonably limited or prohibited future
1 development of unconventional natural gas wells if the
2 municipality has adopted or enacted a zoning or other
3 ordinance that imposes a standard or condition on well
4 development that conflicts with or exceeds those contained in
5 Chapter 32 (relating to development).
6 (d.2) Restricted account.--Upon notice to the commission

11 commission shall place any revenue otherwise due to a
12 municipality under subsection (d)(2) or (3) into a restricted
13 account maintained by the commission. No revenue shall be

15 litigation.
