CASPER, Wyo. (AP) Three Wyoming lawmakers in Washington have proposed legislation to block the Biden administration from ordering a moratorium on new federal leases to energy companies.
Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso and Republican Rep. Liz Cheney introduced the three bills on Thursday in response to an executive order issued by President Joe Biden a day before, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.
Biden issued the order on Wednesday, directing the Interior Department to stop providing new federal leases to oil and gas companies to provide the agencies with time to conduct “a comprehensive review and reconsideration.”
