Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act of 2025

This legislative proposal aims to establish a permanent prohibition on oil and gas leasing and mineral exploration within the Arctic areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. It specifically amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to prevent the Secretary of the Interior from issuing or extending any leases or authorizations for the exploration, development, or production of oil, natural gas, or other minerals in these regions. The bill defines "Arctic" by referencing an existing legal framework, ensuring a clear geographical scope for the prohibition. This measure is designed to prevent future offshore drilling activities and protect the sensitive Arctic environment from industrial development, overriding any other conflicting provisions of law.
