Plain-English Summary

This bill would restrict or prohibit oil and gas drilling and related activities in federal waters off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. The legislation would affect energy companies that operate offshore drilling operations and could influence energy prices and jobs in the oil and gas industry, while supporters argue it would protect marine ecosystems and coastal communities from environmental risks.
