Summary

This legislation seeks to prevent state and local governments from enacting policies that restrict access to energy services based on the type or source of energy. It specifically prohibits any law, regulation, or ordinance that would limit the connection, distribution, or expansion of energy services to end-users. The bill broadly defines "energy" to include a wide array of sources such as natural gas, hydrogen, liquified petroleum gas, biomass-based diesel fuels, and electricity . By doing so, it aims to ensure that consumers and businesses maintain the ability to choose from diverse energy options without local government interference.
