This bill would ban new oil and gas leasing, exploration, and production activities in the Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range, a military training area in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida's coast. The moratorium would take effect immediately upon enactment and apply to all new federal oil and gas operations in that designated zone, though it would not affect oil and gas leases that are already valid and in effect when the law passes. The ban could be lifted only if the Secretary of War certifies to Congress that the Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range is no longer critical for military use. The bill was introduced by Florida Senators Rick Scott and Moody in September 2026 and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. No specific funding or timeline for implementation is specified in the legislation.
