Stop Oil Exports to Lower Gas Prices Act

The Stop Oil Exports to Lower Gas Prices Act prohibits the export of crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel starting in March 2026, with the goal of keeping these resources in the United States. This ban remains in effect until the President declares that military operations against Iran have ended and certifies that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open for global shipping. The law includes a specific exception allowing the President to permit crude oil exports if they cannot be efficiently refined domestically, provided the oil is refined abroad and then imported back into the United States.
