The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives urging Congress and the President of the United States to reform and streamline federal permitting obligations and environmental regulations that hinder domestic energy production and national security interests. It emphasizes the need to reduce reliance on foreign energy sources and enhance the reliability and efficiency of the U.S. energy infrastructure, particularly in light of increasing demands from emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. The resolution highlights the burdensome nature of current federal regulations, including those from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which are seen as excessive and counterproductive to achieving environmental goals while also impeding energy project development.

The resolution calls for an immediate review of specific EPA regulations enacted in May 2024, recommending their repeal or modification to align with national security and economic objectives. It urges Congress to enact legislation that expedites the permitting process for energy infrastructure, including the mining of critical minerals, and to ensure accountability in federal agencies involved in these processes. Additionally, it suggests that the President utilize national security powers to bypass certain environmental laws when necessary to promote energy independence and protect American interests. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to transmit copies to relevant federal officials and agencies.
