A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared with respect to energy.
SJRES 71 is a joint resolution that would terminate the national emergency declared by the President on January 20, 2025, regarding energy. This emergency was established under Executive Order 14156 and the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). The resolution directly ends the legal authority enabling the executive branch to use emergency powers for energy-related policies, without altering existing energy laws or creating new regulations. It affects only the executive branch's emergency designation, not public policy or private entities.
