Safe and Secure Transportation of American Energy Act

The Safe and Secure Transportation of American Energy Act amends a federal criminal law to expand penalties for interfering with energy transportation infrastructure, such as pipelines and power lines. It broadens prohibited acts to include vandalism, tampering, disrupting operations, and preventing construction of these systems. This change directly affects individuals who engage in such actions, increasing legal consequences for disrupting energy infrastructure projects. The bill does not create new infrastructure but strengthens existing legal protections for energy transportation networks.
