40-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
This bill would cancel the national emergency on energy declared by the president on January 20, 2025, through 14156. Using authority under the National Emergencies Act, Congress would vote to end that declaration and remove the special emergency powers tied to it, such as expedited permits or eased regulations for energy production.
Who does it affect?
Introduced by Senator Kaine along with Senator Heinrich. It would affect federal agencies involved in energy policy, energy companies, communities near energy projects, and potentially everyday consumers.
Why does it matter?
Ending the emergency would remove the executive branch's ability to fast-track energy infrastructure or production projects using emergency authority. This could alter the pace or scope of energy projects that were sped up or changed under the declaration, with indirect effects on energy prices or supply.
