HR 1362 United States House · 118th Congress

Saving America’s Energy Future Act

HR 1362, the Saving America’s Energy Future Act, prohibits federal agencies from banning new oil and gas leasing or drilling permits on federal lands. It directly prevents the Secretaries of Agriculture (for National Forest System lands) and Interior (for other public lands) from implementing moratoriums on these activities. The bill’s key mechanism is a clear statutory ban requiring agencies to continue processing new leases and permits without delay. This policy change affects oil and gas companies seeking access to federal land resources by ensuring leasing processes remain active. The bill does not create new programs or alter environmental standards, only blocking a specific regulatory action.
