We must put a stop to the Obama administration\u2019s attacks on domestic energy production.\u00a0 Domestic energy leads to American jobs,\u201d said Rokita.\nThese bills, if they become law, will lead to job creation through increased domestic energy production and streamlining a burdensome regulatory process that has increased energy costs and slowed job growth.\n\u00a0\nLegislation Summary:\nProtecting States\u2019 Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act (H.R. 2728)  \n\tA bipartisan bill that prohibits the Interior Department from enforcing federal hydraulic fracturing regulations in any state that already has regulations and recognizes states\u2019 authority to regulate this type of activity.\nThis bill passed the House 235 to 187.\n\tFederal Lands Jobs and Energy Security Act (H.R. 1965)  \n\tH.R. 1965 Protects and expands onshore American energy production and create new American jobs by streamlining government red-tape and regulations to improve onshore American energy leasing processes.\nThis bill passed the House 228 to 192.\nNatural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act (H.R. 1900)\nThis bill expedites the federal review process for natural gas pipeline permit applications.\nH.RES. 420 passed the House 225 to 194.\n\u00a0\n-30-", 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": ["http://rokita.house.gov/press-release/release-rokita-%E2%80%93-domestic-energy-leads-american-job"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8540178425610065, "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"}
