The bill directs the Secretary of Energy to reestablish the National Coal Council within the Department of Energy, using the council's charter as it stood on November 19, 2021. The council is an advisory body giving the Secretary advice and recommendations on coal and the coal industry. The Federal Advisory Committee Act and the open-meeting exemption at 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) apply to the council, but the Act's committee-termination provision (5 U.S.C. 1013) does not, so the council is not subject to the standard advisory-committee sunset.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 16 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 86 quarterly reports filed by 4 lobbying firms and by 13 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: CMS Energy Corp; Edison Electric Institute; Firstenergy Corp; Portland General Electric; Chamber of Commerce of the U.S.A. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 11 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
