The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urging Congress and the President of the United States to take action to enhance American energy independence by reforming and streamlining federal permitting obligations and revising environmental regulations that do not align with national security interests. It emphasizes the need to reduce reliance on foreign energy sources and highlights the importance of domestic energy production for economic stability and national security. The resolution points out that current federal permitting processes and environmental regulations have become excessively burdensome, hindering the development of essential energy infrastructure and increasing costs for consumers and businesses.

The resolution specifically calls for an immediate review of certain Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations enacted in May 2024, recommending their repeal or modification to better align with national security and economic goals. It urges Congress to enact legislation that expedites the permitting process for energy infrastructure projects and addresses the mining and processing of critical minerals. Additionally, it suggests that the President utilize national security powers to streamline permitting and bypass environmental laws when necessary. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to transmit copies to relevant federal officials, emphasizing the urgency of these reforms to ensure a reliable and efficient energy system in the United States.
