HR 3101 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To repeal a limitation on Federal procurement of certain fuels.
To repeal a limitation on Federal procurement of certain fuels.
Summary
This bill repeals Section 526 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. That section had restricted federal agencies from purchasing fuels derived from unconventional sources like tar sands or oil shale if their greenhouse gas emissions were significantly higher than conventional petroleum. After repeal, the federal government would no longer be subject to that restriction on fuel procurement.
