S 5025: Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026

This bill establishes a comprehensive sanctions framework targeting the Russian government and its affiliated entities in response to ongoing military actions. It authorizes the President to block assets, revoke visas, and prohibit financial transactions for Russian officials, military leaders, and foreign persons supporting Russia's defense industry or undermining Ukraine. The legislation also bans U.S. investments in Russian energy sectors, prohibits the purchase of Russian sovereign debt, and imposes high tariffs on Russian imports while restricting crude oil purchases by specific foreign nations. Additionally, the bill prevents Russian companies from listing on U.S. stock exchanges and includes mechanisms for terminating sanctions only if Russia signs a peace agreement accepted by Ukraine and ceases hostilities.

HR 7957: Preserve the Traditional Cultural Place Chí’chil Biłdagoteel Historic District Act

This bill designates the Chí'chil Biłdagoteel Historic District, a traditional cultural place significant to Western Apache and other Native American tribes, as protected land within the Tonto National Forest. It prohibits mining, toxic waste disposal, pipeline construction, and other development activities on the area to preserve its cultural and natural integrity. The legislation requires the Secretary of Agriculture to maintain the land in its natural condition, consult with affected tribes, and ensure continued access for traditional religious and cultural practices. By withdrawing the land from public land laws and mining rights, the bill prevents future extraction projects that could damage sacred sites, water sources, and ecosystems.

HR 2467: America's Red Rock Wilderness Act

HR 2467, America's Red Rock Wilderness Act, would designate approximately 1.3 million acres of public land across Utah as wilderness areas, protecting them from development and managing them for conservation. The bill specifically designates 77 wilderness areas in the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau regions, including lands within existing national monuments like Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears. It includes provisions for water rights protection, allows continued livestock grazing under certain conditions, and withdraws the designated lands from mining and mineral leasing. The bill also ensures Tribal rights are protected and requires the Secretary of the Interior to administer these areas according to wilderness management standards.

HR 3930: Roadless Area Conservation Act of 2025

This bill codifies existing protections for designated roadless areas within the National Forest System by prohibiting new road construction, road reconstruction, and logging in these areas. It directly affects National Forest lands already identified as "inventoried roadless areas" under the current Roadless Rule, which covers roughly 58 million acres. The key mechanism requires the Secretary of Agriculture to enforce these prohibitions, maintaining current protections without expanding restrictions to other lands or altering existing multiple-use management. The bill does not create new protected areas but legally solidifies the existing regulatory framework to preserve ecological and recreational values.

HR 3067: Arctic Refuge Protection Act

HR 3067, the Arctic Refuge Protection Act, repeals the existing oil and gas program for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and designates approximately 1.56 million acres of the refuge's Coastal Plain as wilderness. This directly affects federal management of the ANWR, halting potential oil drilling in the designated area. The bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to administer the newly designated wilderness area under the Wilderness Act, treating it as part of the existing wilderness within ANWR. The change prevents future oil and gas development on this specific portion of the refuge.

HR 524: NO GOTION Act

HR 524, the "NO GOTION Act," blocks U.S. green energy tax credits for companies tied to specific countries. It amends tax law to deny benefits under sections like 30C, 45, and 48 to any "disqualified company" - defined as entities created in, controlled by, or linked to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. The law directly affects corporations with ties to these nations that seek federal tax incentives for clean energy projects. The policy takes effect for tax years after the bill's enactment, removing eligibility for these companies without altering other tax rules.

HR 2865: New England Coastal Protection Act of 2025

The New England Coastal Protection Act of 2025 prohibits the federal government from issuing new leases for oil and gas exploration, development, or production in offshore federal waters along the coasts of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. This bill directly affects the Department of the Interior (which manages offshore leasing) and any companies seeking to drill in these areas by blocking new lease permits. The key provision amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to explicitly ban the Secretary from granting such leases in the specified coastal region. As a result, the bill prevents new oil and gas drilling projects in these offshore waters, though it does not impact existing leases or activities.

HR 674: Northeast Fisheries Heritage Protection Act of 2025

HR 674 prohibits new commercial offshore wind energy development in Lobster Management Area 1 (a specific fishing zone in the Gulf of Maine critical to the New England lobster and seafood industry). The bill directly affects commercial fishermen, seafood processors, and coastal communities dependent on this area’s fisheries, which support thousands of jobs and generate over $500 million annually in lobster harvest alone. Key provisions include banning new wind energy leases in the area and requiring a federal study within 120 days to evaluate how current environmental reviews for Gulf of Maine wind projects consider impacts on marine life, fishing industries, and coastal communities. The study will assess existing agency processes for reviewing wind projects, not change those processes.

HR 383: End Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies Act of 2025

The End Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies Act of 2025 would eliminate several tax benefits currently available to oil and gas companies, including credits for enhanced oil recovery, deductions for intangible drilling costs, and percentage depletion allowances. It would also prohibit major integrated oil companies (defined as those meeting specific production and revenue thresholds) from using last-in, first-out accounting for inventory purposes. These changes would take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, directly affecting oil and gas producers who currently claim these tax benefits. The legislation removes specific tax advantages that have been available to the oil and gas industry, potentially increasing their tax burden.

S 1472: New England Coastal Protection Act

The New England Coastal Protection Act prohibits the federal government from issuing new leases for oil and gas exploration, development, or production in the Outer Continental Shelf off the coasts of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. This bill directly affects energy companies seeking offshore drilling permits and the federal government, which would no longer be allowed to grant such leases. The key mechanism amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to add a specific prohibition banning all new oil and gas leasing in the designated coastal states. The bill would prevent future oil and gas development in these waters but does not impact existing leases or operations.
