Evidence

Johnson said House Republicans would pass two bills to restore American energy dominance, including the Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act and the HEATS Act, and described them as rolling back burdensome energy regulations and permitting hurdles.

Official statement shows Johnson publicly backed and advanced the package in committee/floor preparation, but it is only a promise of House action at that point.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Johnson publicly backed a House Republican energy deregulation package and voted for/advanced the HEATS Act and Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act, both of which passed the House in April 2026. However, the evidence does not show the legislation was enacted into federal law, so the promised rollback of energy regulations was materially advanced but not fully delivered.
