Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Restoration of Energy and Environmental Policies: By repealing the orders titled "Unleashing American Energy," "Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements," "Declaring a National Energy Emergency," and the order regarding "Offshore Wind Leasing," the bill removes the legal force of those specific mandates (Section 1(b)).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Removal of Executive Mandates: The bill would strip the force and effect of several executive orders, including those regarding energy and offshore wind projects, and prevents Federal funds from being used to carry them out (Section 1(a)).
