We need an America first energy policy now, and I am proud that my amendments and two of my bills, the 90-Day Review Act and the American Energy Act, will be included in H.R. 1.\u201d\n\nBackground on Congresswoman Boebert\u2019s 90-Day Review Act Amendment:\n\nCongresswoman Boebert\u2019s amendment adds her 90-Day Review Act to H.R. 1 and passed the House by voice vote with unanimous consent.\n\nThe 90-Day Review Act shortens the length of time from 150 days to 90 days that a party can file a petition for judicial review of a permit, license, or approval of a major infrastructure project.\n\nBy streamlining the federal litigation timeline, this legislation will help reduce frivolous litigation, cut red tape, and help critical infrastructure projects move forward in more timely manner. This bill will reduce the amount of time it takes to construct real and important infrastructure projects like highways, bridges, railways, dams and other important projects that will improve the lives of people in Colorado's Third District and across America.\n\nCongresswoman Boebert\u2019s 90-Day Review Act is the House companion to Senator Ted Cruz\u2019s 90-Day Review Act he introduced in the Senate.\n\nReps. Troy Nehls (TX-22), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Mary Miller (IL-15), Ralph Norman (SC-05), Clay Higgins (LA-03), and Russel Fry (SC-07) joined Rep. Lauren Boebert in introducing her 90-Day Review Act.\n\nThe full text of Congresswoman Boebert\u2019s amendment codifying her 90-Day Review Act into H.R. 1 is available here.\n\nCongresswoman Boebert spoke in favor of her amendment on the House Floor:\n\nBackground on Congresswoman Boebert\u2019s Jordan Cove Pipeline Amendment:\n\nCongresswoman Boebert\u2019s amendment condemning the cancelation of the Jordan Cove Pipeline to H.R. 1 passed with a recorded vote of 221-208.\n\nThe Jordan Cove Pipeline project had bipartisan support and was supported by U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D), then-Governor John Hickenlooper (D), the Colorado Senate (D), the Denver Post, the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, and local governments in Western Colorado including Mesa, Garfield, Rio Blanco, Moffat, Routt (D), and Delta counties. The Jordan Cove Pipeline was ultimately approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.\n\nThe Jordan Cove Pipeline would have transported Colorado natural gas to the West Coast for domestic use and to be exported to our allies in the Pacific as they counter China\u2019s threats. Producing and transporting American energy domestically is key to securing American energy dominance, stabilizing energy prices, and enhancing American national security.\n\nThe Jordan Cove Pipeline would have invested in rural Colorado for years to come, creating 6,000 jobs and generating $100 million in state and local tax revenue annually. Additionally, it would have helped the environment by decreasing pollution globally since American natural gas is the cleanest in the world and is 42% cleaner than Russian gas.\n\nUnfortunately, Oregon\u2019s liberal Governor Kate Brown killed the Jordan Cove Pipeline by arbitrarily denying the necessary permits.\n\nThe full text of Congresswoman Boebert\u2019s amendment condemning Governor Brown\u2019s decision to cancel the Jordan Cove Pipeline is available here.\n\nCongresswoman Boebert spoke in favor of her amendment on the House Floor:\n\nAdditional Background on H.R. 1:\n\nCongresswoman Boebert\u2019s American Energy Act, H.R. 1067, is included in H.R. 1 as Secs. 20212 and 20217. Congresswoman Boebert\u2019s American Energy Act will increase American energy production and decrease energy prices by reducing the backlog at the Bureau of Land Management by extending the length of drilling permits from two years to four years. By extending the length of drilling permits, energy producers will be able to spend more time producing American energy and less time jumping through bureaucratic hoops. Additionally, extending the length of drilling permits will reduce the number of reapplications, reducing the burden on the Bureau of Land Management. Ultimately, this will alleviate the unacceptable backlog and streamline permitting reviews.\n\nH.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, will reduce energy prices by enacting an America first energy policy by:\n\nRequiring the Secretary of Energy to conduct an ongoing assessment of the nation\u2019s supply of critical energy resources and the vulnerability of the critical energy resource supply chain.\n\nProhibiting the President from banning fracking.\n\nCondemning President Biden\u2019s revocation of the Keystone XL Pipeline.\n\nDeregulating the export of American natural gas.\n\nImmediately resuming quarterly energy lease sales on federal land.\n\nDeregulating federal energy leasing.\n\nRequiring the Secretary of Interior to issue a plan to increase energy leasing on federal land.\n\nEnding the moratorium on coal energy leasing.\n\nProhibiting China from controlling lands leased for energy production.\n\nEncouraging the domestic production of critical minerals.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:30:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/boebert-energy-legislation-passes-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8222879841923714, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
