H.R. 4629, introduced in July 2025, seeks to convert Executive Order 14260 into permanent federal law. The bill would codify the executive order on protecting American energy from state overreach, giving it the force and effect of law rather than leaving it subject to being revoked by future administrations. This legislation affects energy companies and states by potentially limiting states' ability to impose their own energy regulations or restrictions that the federal government considers overreach. The bill does not specify new funding allocations or implementation timelines. By converting an executive order into statute, Congress would make these energy protections permanent unless Congress itself votes to change or repeal the law.
