US EditionTexas’ US senators, congressman from Houston file bill to protect LNG
- In 2025, Texas lawmakers Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, and Representative Wesley Hunt introduced the Protect LNG Act to bolster the oil and natural gas sector.
- The bill responds to bipartisan pressure urging the Biden administration to lift restrictions on new LNG permits and follows a court ruling last year that delayed several major projects.
- The bill would bar courts from blocking LNG permits through litigation, mandate that lawsuits be initiated exclusively in the federal circuit court that has jurisdiction over the LNG project's site rather than where the permitting agency is based, set a 90-day deadline for filing such lawsuits, and require these cases to be reviewed on an expedited basis.
- A court decision from the previous year put nearly 7,000 well-paying jobs and $24 billion in investments for the Rio Grande LNG project at risk by causing an almost 10-month delay.
- If enacted, the bill aims to protect energy projects nationwide from similar legal delays and sustain Texas's leading role in U.S. LNG exports and energy production.
