Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy Act of 2026
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Natural Resources, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill forces the Department of Energy, several Interior Department bureaus and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to give most of their rules a built‑in sunset date. Existing rules must expire within one year and any new rules must expire within five years unless the agency determines the rule is net deregulation. Extensions can only add up to five more years and generally require a public comment period.
