What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Clean Ocean And Safe Tourism Anti-Drilling Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. It aims to create a permanent prohibition on offshore drilling in specific regions. Specifically, the Secretary would be barred from issuing leases or authorizations for the exploration, development, or production of oil, natural gas, or other minerals. This prohibition applies to the North Atlantic, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Straits of Florida planning areas.
