Bill > HR4629

This bill codifies Executive Order 14260, which means it transforms an existing presidential executive order into federal law, giving it permanent legal standing beyond the current presidential administration. Specifically, the bill will formalize the provisions of Executive Order 14260, which relates to protecting American energy interests from state-level regulatory actions that might impede energy production or infrastructure development. By converting the executive order into statutory law, Congress is ensuring that the policy's provisions will continue to have legal effect regardless of changes in executive leadership. The bill is relatively straightforward, consisting of two sections: the first establishes its short title as the "Protecting American Energy from State Overreach Codification Act," and the second section explicitly states that Executive Order 14260, which was published in the Federal Register, will now have the full force and effect of law. While the specific details of the executive order are not provided in this bill text, the title suggests it is designed to prevent state governments from implementing regulations that could potentially obstruct national energy production or transportation initiatives.
