What it does
The bill amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to add energy emergency and energy security to the functions the Secretary must assign to an Assistant Secretary.
The bill amends the Department of Energy Organization Act to add energy emergency and energy security to the functions the Secretary must assign to an Assistant Secretary. Those functions cover energy infrastructure security and resilience, emerging threats, cybersecurity, supply, and emergency planning, preparedness, response, and restoration. On request from a State, local, or Tribal government or an energy sector entity, the Assistant Secretary provides technical assistance to protect against, detect, and respond to energy security threats. The Secretary must ensure these functions are carried out in coordination with relevant Federal agencies.
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 9 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 23 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 9 organizations lobbying for themselves in 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: National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA); Chamber of Commerce of the U.S.A.; American Public Power Association; Edison Electric Institute; Puget Sound Energy. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 4 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.
