This bill would block most non-U.S. citizens from entering or accessing any site or facility owned, run, or leased by the Department of Energy. Citizens of four partner countries—Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom—would be allowed in. The Department of Energy would have to update its rules to carry this out. The change would start 60 days after the bill becomes law.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Non-U.S. citizens seeking access to Department of Energy sites and facilities; exceptions for citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
• What changes: Access is barred for most foreign citizens; DOE must revise policies to enforce this.
• When: The rules take effect 60 days after enactment; DOE must update regulations within the same 60-day window.
