Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
The Supporting Made in America Energy Act requires expanded federal oil and natural gas leasing onshore and offshore. It mandates minimum onshore lease sales in multiple energy-producing States, semiannual Gulf of Mexico region-wide lease sales through 2035, and at least six Cook Inlet offshore sales in Alaska over ten years with set acreage and a 12.5% royalty.
Climate impacts versus energy security and jobs
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a substantive statutory package that is detailed in its core mandates and statutory amendments but limited in fiscal and enforcement scaffolding.

The bill amends leasing law to require faster subsequent program development and creates a rebuttable presumption against presidential actions that pause or cancel leasing without congressional approval.
Broad, ideologically loaded mandates and limits on executive discretion make bicameral agreement and enactment difficult absent strong congressional alignment.

Climate impacts versus energy security and jobs
These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Climate impacts versus energy security and jobs
Likely to oppose the bill as it significantly expands fossil fuel leasing and constrains executive authority to pause leasing.
Concern will focus on climate impacts, coastal and wildlife risks, and reduced flexibility for environmental review.
Mixed view: welcomes predictability and domestic supply benefits but worries about environmental reviews, legal exposure, and administrative practicality.
Would seek compromises to preserve oversight and minimize litigation risk.
Likely to strongly support the bill as it expands domestic fossil fuel production, reduces executive interference, and creates regulatory certainty for industry and producing States.
Views it as enhancing energy independence and economic opportunity.
