What it does
The FREEDOM Act would amend the Energy Act of 2020 to establish enforceable federal authorization timelines and expedited judicial remedies for covered energy projects, aiming to reduce regulatory uncertainty and permitting delays. It would require project sponsors to submit notices of initiation for proposed energy projects, set deadlines for agency determinations, and limit federal actions that halt fully permitted projects. The bill affects energy project sponsors and federal agencies involved in authorizing energy infrastructure, including those related to geothermal, mining, and other energy development on federal lands or the outer Continental Shelf.
