Alaska’s Right to Produce Act 2.0

This bill would have Congress approve all federal permits and other approvals listed in an October 2025 Interior Department decision for the oil and gas leasing program in the Coastal Plain of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It would cancel the effect of any order by the President or the Interior Secretary that pauses leasing there, and bar the cancellation of leases after bids have been opened unless a lessee violates lease terms and does not fix the violation. It would generally block courts from reviewing these approvals, while letting lease holders ask a court to set deadlines for agency action. It would also require rules for combining leases into units, allow the Secretary to lower or pause rents and royalties, and bar the Secretary from enforcing a 2024 rule on the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska or any similar rule.
