AI Summary
This bill, the American Shores Protection Act, amends the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 to extend the moratorium on oil and gas leasing off the coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina until June 30, 2032. The bill also establishes new moratoria on leasing in the South Atlantic Planning Area and the Straits of Florida Planning Area. However, the moratoria do not affect valid existing leases, and the Secretary of the Interior can still issue leases in these areas for environmental conservation purposes, such as beach nourishment, wetlands restoration, and habitat protection.
