AI Summary
This bill, the Unleashing American Energy Act, requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a minimum of 2 region-wide oil and gas lease sales annually in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska regions. It also amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to prohibit the President from unreasonably pausing, canceling, delaying, deferring, or impeding federal energy mineral leasing processes without congressional approval, establishing a rebuttable presumption that any such actions by the President are considered unreasonable.
