To prohibit liability against those engaged in the mining, extraction, production, refinement, transportation, distribution, marketing, manufacture, or sale of energy for damages or injunctive or other relief from the use of their products, and for other purposes.

This bill is under review by a committee. The committee holds hearings, gathers testimony from experts and stakeholders, and may propose amendments. If the committee votes to advance it, the bill moves to the full chamber for debate and a vote.

This bill would block state efforts like New York's or California's to sue oil companies for misleading the public about climate change or for contributing to extreme weather costs. It also cancels any existing lawsuits, such as those filed by cities blaming energy firms for heat waves or floods. Individuals or groups could not bring climate-related claims under state consumer protection or tort law.

Supporters, including energy industry groups, claim these lawsuits lack scientific basis and burden the economy. Critics, such as environmental advocates, contend the bill overrides state authority and leaves communities with no recourse for climate damage. Legal experts note the bill's preemption of state law could face constitutional challenges.
