Stop Oil Exports to Lower Gas Prices Act

This bill would ban the export of crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel from the United States starting when the bill becomes law. The ban would last until the President declares that military operations against Iran that began in March 2026 have ended and certifies to Congress that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and global shipping through it has resumed. The President could waive the ban for crude oil if it cannot be efficiently refined in the United States. Crude oil exported under a waiver would need a license and would have to be refined abroad and imported back into the United States.
