This bill repeals the federal requirement that new and renovated federal buildings phase out fossil-fuel energy use. It amends the Energy Conservation and Production Act to strike the subclauses that set the fossil-fuel-generated energy reduction targets for federal building standards. It provides that two sets of Department of Energy regulations in title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, at subpart B of part 435 and subpart B of part 433, have no force or effect. Until the Department issues new regulations, the underlying standard is to be implemented as though the struck reduction requirements had never taken effect. The bill also provides that a green-building or high-performance-green-building certification system used by the federal government may not deny a building certification solely because it uses fossil fuels, directly or indirectly. It directs the Secretary of Energy to issue new or revised regulations within 180 days of enactment.
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 13 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 47 quarterly reports filed by 2 lobbying firms and by 12 organizations lobbying for themselves in 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; Basf Corporation; American Chemistry Council; American Gas Association; National Energy & Fuels Institute. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 8 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.
