What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026. It aims to protect energy businesses from lawsuits and state laws related to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. The legislation declares that regulating interstate and international emissions belongs exclusively to the federal government. It prohibits the filing or maintenance of climate suits and energy penalty actions in any federal or state court. Any pending qualified liability actions must be immediately dismissed, and all state energy penalty laws are declared void. Furthermore, the bill establishes federal preemption over the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
