HR 6064 United States House · 118th Congress

Don’t DO IT Act

This bill, HR 6064 (the "Don’t DO IT Act"), requires federal officials to deny permits for solar or wind energy projects on federal land if a state legislature has passed disapproval legislation for that specific project. It directly affects renewable energy developers seeking federal land rights-of-way by giving states a veto power over such projects within their borders. The key mechanism is a new provision mandating denial of permit applications when the state governor notifies the federal Secretary of the project's disapproval by the state legislature. This creates a direct state-federal coordination point for renewable energy development on public lands.
