HCONRES 90 United States House · 118th Congress

Condemning the Biden administration for its ban on the issuance of liquefied natural gas export permits.

HCONRES 90 is a non-binding congressional resolution condemning the Biden administration's January 26, 2024, decision to indefinitely pause LNG export permit approvals under the Natural Gas Act. It claims this pause harms U.S. economic interests (including jobs and exports to European allies, which accounted for over 50% of U.S. LNG shipments), weakens security partnerships in Europe, and undermines climate goals by reducing a lower-emission energy alternative to Russian gas. The resolution urges the administration to reverse the pause but has no legal effect, as it does not change any laws or permit processes. It is a symbolic statement of disapproval, not a policy change.
