Bill > HR4835

This bill amends the Defense Production Act of 1950 to prevent discrimination against fossil fuel-based energy industries when the federal government provides financial support under the Act's Title I and Title III authorities. Specifically, the bill prohibits the President from denying financial assistance to companies involved in fossil fuel-related activities (such as exploration, development, production, transportation, or sale) solely based on their energy source, except when the support is directly for energy production. The bill also modifies an existing provision related to domestic energy supplies by adding a clause that allows considerations for environmental protection. Titled the "Strategic Resources Non-discrimination Act," this legislation aims to ensure that fossil fuel industries are not disadvantaged when seeking government support under the Defense Production Act, which allows the government to prioritize and allocate resources for national defense and emergency preparedness.
