AR 75 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges US Congress and President to increase domestic energy production and lessen regulatory barriers thereto.

New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 75 (AR 75) is a symbolic resolution urging the U.S. Congress and President to increase domestic oil and gas production by reducing regulatory barriers. It specifically calls for removing bans on federal land development, streamlining permitting, incentivizing production on idle lands, and approving pipelines like the Keystone XL. The resolution cites high gas prices (exceeding $4/gallon nationally), energy dependence on Russia/Venezuela, and the 2022 letter from 25 governors as key motivations. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but aims to influence federal energy policy.
