S 3530 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Strategic Resources Non-discrimination Act

The Strategic Resources Non-discrimination Act (S 3530) amends the Defense Production Act to prohibit federal discrimination against energy companies based on their energy source. It adds a new provision stating the President cannot deny financial support under certain sections (301, 302, or 303) for energy production - excluding fossil fuel activities - unless the denial is for environmental protection reasons. This directly affects companies seeking federal financial assistance for energy projects, ensuring they cannot be blocked solely for working with fossil fuels. The bill does not change environmental regulations but clarifies that support decisions must not target specific energy sources.
