Bill Summary
A BILL To amend Public Law 115-97 (commonly known as the ‘‘Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’’) to repeal the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge oil and gas program, and to preserve the Arctic coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, as wilderness in recognition of its extraordinary natural ecosystems and for the permanent good of present and future generations of Americans.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to repeal the oil and gas development program for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) that was established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and designate approximately 1,559,538 acres of the Arctic coastal plain as wilderness. The bill would permanently protect this ecologically significant area from future fossil fuel extraction, ensuring its preservation for current and future generations. Specifically, the bill would remove Section 20001 from Public Law 115-97, which originally authorized oil and gas leasing in the ANWR, and officially designate the specified portion of the refuge as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System under the Wilderness Act. This designation means the area would be managed to preserve its natural conditions, offering the highest level of environmental protection available for public lands, and preventing any commercial development, resource extraction, or permanent human infrastructure. The proposed wilderness area would be administered by the Secretary of the Interior in accordance with existing wilderness management protocols within the ANWR.
