Bill > S3530

This bill, titled the "Strategic Resources Non-discrimination Act," amends the Defense Production Act of 1950, a law that grants the President broad powers to mobilize domestic industry and resources during national emergencies. Specifically, it aims to prevent discrimination based on the energy source used by businesses when the President exercises certain authorities under the Act. The bill clarifies that when using powers related to domestic energy supplies, the President cannot deny support for purposes other than environmental protection. Furthermore, it adds a new section to Title III of the Defense Production Act, which deals with financial support and other measures to expand productive capacity and supply. This new section explicitly prohibits the President from denying financial assistance for energy production, as authorized by specific sections of Title III, based on a person's involvement in the exploration, development, production, transportation, or sale of fossil fuel-based energy.
