Line 5 Act

This bill says the United States must follow the 1977 treaty with Canada about pipelines that cross the border. It bars the President, or anyone the President appoints, from taking actions that would break that agreement. The bill is called the “Line 5 Act.”

In short, it aims to keep U.S. actions in line with the transit pipelines agreement signed on January 28, 1977, so federal leaders can’t violate it.

• Who is affected: The President and federal officials; companies that operate cross‑border pipelines.
• What changes: It creates a clear rule that the U.S. government may not violate the U.S.–Canada transit pipelines agreement.
• When: Would take effect after becoming law.
