AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would cancel a March 31, 2026 decision and order by the federal Endangered Species Committee that concerned oil and gas activities in the Gulf of America, and would bar the use of federal funds to carry out that decision. For three years after the bill becomes law, the Committee could not issue any new decision exempting those Gulf oil and gas activities from Endangered Species Act requirements. The Endangered Species Act requirements that were in effect on March 30, 2026 would continue to apply to those activities.
