Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This resolution condemns state-level energy policies that restrict domestic oil production, particularly targeting states like California that have implemented regulatory restrictions. The resolution argues that these state policies have led to higher gasoline prices for consumers, placing financial burdens on working-class families and businesses while contributing to inflation. The measure also contends that reduced domestic oil production increases U.S. reliance on foreign energy sources, which the resolution characterizes as undermining national energy independence and military readiness. The resolution emphasizes that the Department of Defense, as the nation's largest fuel consumer, requires stable and affordable energy supplies for operations and that high fuel costs harm military recruitment, retention, and operational capabilities. The resolution calls for policies supporting domestic energy development and affordable fuel supplies but does not contain any specific funding allocations or implementation timelines.
