Protect LNG Act: Limiting Court Power to Halt Natural Gas Export Projects.
This law aims to speed up the construction and export of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) by limiting the ability of courts to stop or cancel project permits. If a court finds errors in the environmental review, the permit remains valid, and the federal agency is only required to fix the documentation. Citizens and groups also have a shortened window (90 days) to challenge these decisions.
Key points
Permits for building and operating LNG facilities remain valid even if a court finds the environmental review process was flawed.
Courts cannot halt the project; instead, they must order the federal agency to quickly correct the environmental documentation.
The judicial review process for these projects is expedited, and the deadline for filing a legal challenge is shortened to 90 days.
