Terminating the national emergency declared with respect to energy.

This proposal would end the “national emergency” about energy that was declared on January 20, 2025. Ending the emergency would also end special directions that told federal agencies to fast‑track energy projects, speed up permits under certain environmental rules, and push the military to review and build energy infrastructure to fix weak spots, especially in the Northeast, West Coast, and Alaska . The measure’s simple purpose is to terminate that emergency status , which is also reflected in its official title in the Senate documents .

Here’s what that means in everyday terms:

• Agencies would stop using emergency powers to rush approvals and construction for energy projects and infrastructure, and would return to normal processes and timelines .
• The Department of Defense would no longer use special emergency construction powers tied to this energy review .
