The Real Emergencies Act would prohibit the President from declaring national emergencies, major disasters, emergencies, or public health emergencies based on climate change under three federal laws: the National Emergencies Act, the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, and the Public Health Service Act. The bill would prevent the executive branch from using these emergency declaration powers to address climate-related issues going forward, and it includes language stating this prohibition applies retroactively to clarify that no such authority existed before the law's enactment. The legislation has no specified funding requirements or implementation timeline. It would affect any future presidential administration seeking to use emergency powers to respond to climate change impacts. The bill was introduced in June 2023 by a group of House Republicans and was referred to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee.
