Bill Summary
A bill to expedite decisions on applications for authorization to export natural gas, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to speed up the process for approving applications to export natural gas by setting a strict 90-day deadline for the Secretary of Energy to make a decision after the public comment period ends or after the bill becomes law. If the Secretary fails to meet this deadline, the United States Court of Appeals for the relevant circuit will have the authority to review the application and can order the Secretary to issue a decision within 30 days. The bill also mandates that any legal challenges brought before these courts regarding the Secretary's decision or inaction must be given expedited consideration and placed on the court's docket as quickly as possible.
