Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act of 2023

This bill prohibits the federal government from leasing or authorizing oil and gas exploration, development, or production in the Arctic Ocean's outer Continental Shelf. It directly affects the Department of the Interior (which manages offshore leasing) and companies seeking to drill in Arctic waters. The law amends existing federal law to ban new leases or permits for oil, natural gas, or mineral activities in designated Arctic areas. This creates a permanent restriction on new drilling projects in U.S. Arctic waters.
