Plain Language Summary
# Summary of S. 1035: Natural Gas Export Restriction Bill **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would restrict the ability to export natural gas that is produced or refined in the United States. While the exact restrictions aren't detailed in the available information, the bill's purpose is to limit how much American natural gas can be shipped to other countries. This would represent a significant change to current U.S.
policy, which generally allows natural gas exports under certain conditions. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily impact energy companies that produce and export natural gas, as well as international customers who purchase American natural gas. It could also affect energy prices and availability both domestically and globally, depending on how strictly the export limits are set. **Current Status** As of now, S. 1035 is in committee, meaning it's still in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The bill was introduced by Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) in the 119th Congress.
