Annual report on federal policies increasing US energy and gas prices.
This Act mandates the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to publish an annual report detailing all federal policies, regulations, and executive orders enacted since 2021 that have increased or may increase energy prices in the United States. The goal is to enhance transparency, allowing citizens to understand how federal decisions impact their daily costs for fuel and heating. This provides the public with data to assess the link between government actions and personal finance stability.

Scope of Analysis: The report must cover all regulations and executive orders effective from January 20, 2021, onward that are determined to have increased energy costs.
