Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Mineral Leasing Act to clarify the effect of a pending civil action on the processing of an application for a permit to drill, to require courts to remand lease sale Environmental Impact Statements to agencies to remedy when necessary, and to establish a term limit for permits to drill.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the Mineral Leasing Act to clarify the processing of applications for permits to drill, even when there are pending civil actions, unless a court has vacated the lease. It also establishes a four-year term limit for permits to drill. Additionally, the bill restricts courts from vacating or otherwise limiting oil and gas lease sales, unless allowing development would pose an imminent and substantial environmental risk with no other legal remedy available. The bill also prevents courts from enjoining or preventing the award of leases if the Department of the Interior has already opened bids or disclosed the high bidder.
