Energy Subcommittee, Energy and Commerce Committee

  • Introduced
  • In Committee
  • On Floor
  • Passed Chamber
  • Enacted
This legislation seeks to prevent state and local governments from implementing any law, regulation, or policy that prohibits or limits the provision of energy services. It specifically targets restrictions on the connection, installation, transportation, distribution, or expansion of energy based on its type or source delivered to an end-user. The bill broadly defines "energy" to encompass various sources, including natural gas, renewable natural gas, hydrogen, liquified petroleum gas , and electricity . The intent is to ensure that consumers have unrestricted access to a diverse array of energy options, preventing local jurisdictions from dictating energy choices based on the commodity itself.
