This legislation, titled the "Strategic Resources Non-discrimination Act," aims to amend the Defense Production Act of 1950 (DPA) to prevent discrimination against certain energy sources. It modifies Section 101(c)(1) of the DPA, clarifying that the authority to assure adequate domestic energy supplies cannot be exercised when the primary purpose of such action is environmental protection. This provision seeks to prevent the use of DPA powers to disadvantage specific energy types under the guise of environmental concerns. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new Section 306 under Title III of the DPA. This new section explicitly prohibits the President from denying financial support, available under DPA sections 301, 302, or 303, to any person based on their engagement in the exploration, development, production, utilization, transportation, or sale of fossil fuel-based energy . The overall intent is to ensure that DPA authorities are not used to withhold support from industries involved with fossil fuels.
