This House bill, introduced on February 17, 2026, would require certain federal energy agencies to add expiration dates to some of their regulations. The agencies covered include the Department of Energy, parts of the Department of the Interior, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The bill was referred to the House committees on Energy and Commerce and Natural Resources.
Federal energy rules affect local electricity, gas, and fuel costs. If some energy agency rules expire on a set schedule, that could change how energy is regulated in Houston.
