Congress.gov shows Rep. Mike Kennedy introduced H.R. 5638, the Geothermal Royalty Reform Act, on September 30, 2025. The bill would amend the Geothermal Steam Act to base royalties on production from each electric generating facility, and it was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

Kennedy introduced a concrete energy-focused bill aimed at lowering regulatory cost barriers for geothermal development, which is consistent with the promise but did not become law.

Congress.gov shows Rep. Mike Kennedy introduced H.R. 5639, the Co-Location Energy Act, on September 30, 2025.

Kennedy's House office said H.R. 5638 advanced through the House Natural Resources Committee and that the legislation would reform outdated federal royalty rules to encourage investment in geothermal energy and lower unnecessary costs.

The member office says Kennedy actively advanced an energy bill during the current term, supporting follow-through on the promise, though it still falls short of delivered policy.
