Scott Tipton’s (R-CO) legislation to increase responsible all-of-the-above energy production and healthy forest management. “American families are facing higher costs for groceries, energy bills and gas at the pump. Further, in Colorado and throughout the West we have seen forests, homes and livelihoods destroyed by destructive wildfires resulting from a lack of proactive forest management on public lands. Americans need solutions now. The House has continuously worked to identify and pass solutions to put Americans back to work, to lower energy costs for businesses and families, and to get our federally-managed public lands under control,” Tipton said. “My two bills, the Healthy Forest Management Act and the Planning for American Energy Act, address critical issues, will help grow the economy, and create needed jobs. I urge the Senate to join us in taking action and vote on these critical bills.” The American Energy Solutions for Lower Costs and More American Jobs Act (H.R. 2) included Tipton’s Planning for American Energy Act (H.R. 1394), which would unleash the potential for thousands of new jobs as well as establish reliable, affordable and secure sources of American energy, without removing a single environmental regulation. The Jobs for America Act (H.R. 4) included Tipton’s Healthy Forest Management Act (H.R. 818), which would give states, tribes and local governments more say in forest management decisions to mitigate hazardous conditions on public lands that lead to devastating wildfires. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
