HR 7258 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.
Energy Emergency Leadership Act
Summary
This bill amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to add energy emergency and energy security functions to the responsibilities of Assistant Secretaries. These functions include oversight of energy infrastructure security and resilience, emerging threats, cybersecurity, supply chain management, and emergency planning and preparedness, as well as coordination and response to energy security incidents. The bill authorizes the Secretary of Energy to provide technical assistance and support to state, local, tribal governments, and energy sector entities upon request to help protect against, detect, and respond to energy security threats, risks, and incidents. The Secretary must ensure these new functions are performed in coordination with relevant Federal agencies.
