Protect LNG Act of 2025
Refreshed 4 h ago
Introduced 2025-05-23Topic: energy · environment · criminal justiceSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes how lawsuits affect federal permits for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects. A lawsuit over an environmental review of an LNG facility would not affect whether the facility's permit is valid. If a court finds the environmental review broke the law, the court could not cancel the permit and would instead send the matter back to the federal agency to fix, while the agency keeps processing applications. Lawsuits challenging agency orders on these applications would go directly to the federal appeals court for the circuit where the facility is located and would get expedited review. Legal challenges to these permits would have to be filed within 90 days after a final notice is published in the Federal Register.
