Don’t Develop Obstructive Infrastructure on our Terrain Act

The Don’t DO IT Act would require the federal government to deny right-of-way applications for solar and wind energy projects on federal land if a state legislature has passed specific legislation disapproving that project. The Secretary of the Interior must deny the application upon receiving notice from the state Governor that the state legislature enacted disapproval legislation. This directly affects renewable energy developers seeking federal land permits and grants states authority to block such projects within their borders. The bill does not change federal approval standards for other projects or mandate state disapproval - it only triggers a federal denial when a state specifically disapproves a project.
