S 1017 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Safe and Secure Transportation of American Energy Act

This bill amends Section 60123(b) of Title 49, U.S. Code, to expand criminal penalties for interfering with energy infrastructure. It broadens the prohibited actions from "damaging or destroying" to include vandalizing, tampering with, disrupting operations or construction, or preventing operations of energy facilities like pipelines. The change directly affects individuals who interfere with energy transportation infrastructure, increasing legal consequences for a wider range of disruptive acts. The bill focuses on strengthening existing penalties without creating new programs or funding.
