Streamlining LNG Exports: Faster Approvals and Reduced Litigation Impact.

This act aims to accelerate the approval process for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects. It limits the impact of lawsuits on issued permits, potentially leading to faster construction and expansion of gas infrastructure. For citizens, this could mean greater gas availability and economic impact, but also changes in how environmental concerns are addressed.
Key points
Permits for LNG facilities remain valid even if their environmental review is challenged in court.
Courts cannot revoke LNG facility permits; they can only order environmental reviews to be corrected.
Lawsuits concerning LNG permits will be expedited and handled exclusively by appellate courts.
The deadline to challenge LNG facility decisions is limited to 90 days after the decision is announced.
