American Shores Protection Act of 2025

This bill would bar the Secretary of the Interior from issuing any lease or other authorization for oil or natural gas exploration, development, or production in certain offshore areas from the date it becomes law until June 30, 2032. The covered areas are parts of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the South Atlantic Planning Area, and the Straits of Florida Planning Area, off the coasts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Leases issued before the bill becomes law would not be affected. The bill also states that Congress supports a September 8, 2020 presidential withdrawal of these offshore areas from leasing.
