Prohibits SPR drawdowns (except for severe emergencies) until the Secretary develops a plan to increase federal land oil and gas leasing by the same percentage as the SPR drawdown since January 2021.
Who Benefits and How
Oil and gas industry benefits from required expansion of federal leasing. Energy security advocates gain linkage between SPR use and domestic production increases.
