This bill would ban the export of natural gas produced in the United States, with limited exceptions. The legislation is based on findings that natural gas exports have increased domestic prices—with government analyses suggesting households could pay an extra $122 per year by 2050 and that American consumers already spent $12 billion more on natural gas from January to September 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The bill would give the President authority to restrict natural gas exports through new rules, though the President could exempt specific exports if deemed in the national interest or critical for national security, but only with Congressional approval. The bill targets energy companies and infrastructure developers involved in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, while benefiting American households and industries that consume natural gas domestically. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation.
