H. Res. 1227
Condemning State-level energy policies that restrict domestic oil production, increase gasoline prices, and undermine American energy security and national defense.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION
That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns State-level energy policies that intentionally or effectively restrict domestic oil production and refining capacity, resulting in higher gasoline prices for American consumers; (2) finds that policies implemented in States such as California have contributed to significantly higher fuel costs, placing undue financial strain on families and businesses; (3) recognizes that affordable, reliable, and domestically produced energy is critical to United States economic stability, energy independence, and global competitiveness; (4) affirms that access to abundant and affordable fuel supplies is essential to maintaining the operational readiness and strategic capabilities of the United States Armed Forces; (5) expresses concern that high fuel costs and over-reliance on foreign energy sources pose risks to United States national security and military preparedness; (6) warns against the adoption of similar restrictive energy policies at the Federal level that would exacerbate fuel price increases and undermine domestic energy production; and (7) encourages policies that support responsible domestic energy development, strengthen supply chains, and ensure long-term energy affordability for American consumers and national defense.
