Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Foreign Affairs, Natural Resources, Ways and Means, Oversight and Government Reform, Agriculture, Armed Services, Financial Services, and Transportation and Infrastructure, 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 bill would repeal four executive orders issued on January 20, 2025, that relate to energy policy and environmental agreements. Specifically, it targets orders titled "Unleashing American Energy," "Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements," "Declaring a National Energy Emergency," and one withdrawing federal lands from offshore wind leasing. If enacted, these orders would have no legal force, and no federal funds could be spent to implement or enforce them. The bill was introduced by Representatives Castor and Tonko and referred to nine House committees including Energy and Commerce, Foreign Affairs, and Natural Resources. The legislation contains a savings clause clarifying that it does not limit the President's overall authority to issue executive orders.
