SCR 36 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to resume liquid natural gas exports.

This legislative resolution asks the U.S. Congress to end the current pause on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports that was started by the Biden Administration. The bill directly affects the state of Louisiana by seeking to allow its LNG facilities to resume shipping fuel to international markets. It argues that lifting this restriction is necessary to maintain global energy supplies and protect the local economy from potential job losses. The document does not change any laws itself but serves as a formal request to federal lawmakers to reverse the existing export restrictions.
