The amendment would increase caps on revenue distributed to coastal states in FY 2020 and FY 2021 from $500 to $600 million.\nThe ANWR measure, which now includes the amendment, today passed a vote of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and will proceed to consideration by the full Senate. By granting longer-term stability to the communities that shoulder disproportionate risk in domestic offshore energy production, the amendment would provide for crucial coastal restoration to benefit Alabama\u2019s fishing and tourism industries.\n\u201cToday\u2019s vote by the Energy and Natural Resources Committee provides a unique opportunity to address a challenge facing energy producers in Alabama and across the Gulf Coast,\u201d said Strange. \u201cBy raising revenue sharing maximums, our amendment would give future security to the thousands of Alabamians touched by the energy sector along our shore. I am proud to join Senator Cassidy in this effort, and look forward to our colleagues\u2019 support on the Senate floor.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://www.strange.senate.gov/content/gulf-energy-amendment-strange-cassidy-clears-committee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8857389912009239, "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"}
