Pass legislation to cut red tape and roll back burdensome energy regulations to restore American energy dominance.

We're going to pass two pieces of legislation that are going to build specifically on President Trump's work to restore America's energy dominance.

Johnson commits the House to pass energy-related legislation that reduces regulatory burdens and advances American energy production.

Speaker Johnson: House Republicans are Cutting Red Tape, Burdensome Regulations to Reestablish American Energy Dominance | U.S. Congressman Mike Johnson
primary · press_release · model gpt-5.4-mini

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.

The House Clerk's member vote record shows Johnson voted yea on H.R. 5587, the HEATS Act, which the House passed on April 23, 2026.

Johnson supported a second bill in the package that deregulates geothermal permitting, showing active legislative movement, but the record does not show final enactment.

Congress.gov records H.R. 1 as becoming Public Law No. 119-21 on July 4, 2025, after passing the House, passing the Senate, being presented to the President, and being signed into law.

An enacted reconciliation law in the same congressional term included energy provisions, so it supports at least partial delivery of the broad promise to pass energy-related legislation.

The CRS summary says H.R. 1 Title V generally reduces restrictions on onshore and offshore oil and gas development, resumes lease sales, approves certain commingling applications, and changes royalty rules.

The enacted law contains provisions directly aimed at reducing restrictions on fossil-energy development, aligning with the red-tape and energy-dominance portion of the promise, though it is broader than the later named House package.

The CRS summary states that H.R. 1 revises energy infrastructure reinvestment financing, removes some greenhouse-gas-control conditions for fossil-fuel projects, and repeals or rescinds IRA funding for multiple environmental programs.

This shows enacted rollback of some climate and environmental funding or conditions tied to energy policy, supporting partial fulfillment of the regulation-rollback promise.

Johnson said House Republicans would pass the Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act and the HEATS Act to roll back green-energy mandates, remove permitting hurdles, cut red tape, and support American energy dominance.

Official statement ties Johnson personally to a concrete House legislative package matching the promise, but the statement itself precedes final action.

H.R. 4690 would amend the Energy Conservation and Production Act, repeal certain federal building energy efficiency performance standards, and bar green-building certification systems from excluding buildings solely because of fossil-fuel consumption.

Bill text confirms the measure is a deregulatory energy bill relevant to the promise, but text alone does not establish enactment.

H.R. 5587 would waive the federal drilling permit requirement for certain geothermal activities on non-federal surface estates and exempt those activities from certain NEPA and Endangered Species Act requirements.

Bill text confirms the HEATS Act would reduce federal permitting and environmental-review requirements for geothermal production, fitting the red-tape portion of the promise.
